The date of the one in the distribution is 23/06/2012 so it's in
between I guess.

Yes I can confirm that. I re-did the final chunk with the 5 mins extra
to allow for the trim and it worked ok.  FWIW I tried for a 2 chunk
deal and pretty much as you found, (it didn't hang), it ended up
incomplete. The 3rd chunk went to the end ok although I was surprised
that the whole 'banana' ended up being 5.59GB (I refuse to say GiB
:-))

If you need a windows perspective I'm happy to test if you like.
