The Async file plugin interface is checking for byte or word sized arrays,
this check was wrong and cause the primitive to write out 4x more data than
required, reading also attempted to read in 4x too much data but another
feature prevented that from being an issue since we instruct the primitive
to read data based on byte counts, not word counts. This too is a problem
but the primitive does not know the byte/word type of the smalltalk buffer
when it is asked to start reading data!


You must of course build a new VM for this fix to take affect.
