It seems that in the latest running around with things, disklabel -W
doesn't seem to quite work, at least on the alpha- it seems to set the
label writable, but the next attempt to open the disk sets the label area
non-writable again.

Before I go tracking this down as a bug, is it?

Secondly, how do people feel about having dd(1) use the DIOCWLABEL
argument to enable writing the label area of the disk if the output is a
disk and there is no offset from zero?
