It’s also of note that I was running Windows 7 back then and am currently running 10, so this is now confirmed to manifest on both of the last two Windows OSes. I’m happy to work with the team to get this fixed, as I frequently need to make use of Cygwin dd to zero out drives for both security and regulatory compliance reasons, and failing to wipe the last 48 sectors of all drives is a pretty significant security risk.
