Yeah, that does seem a bit broken.  You can solve that with something
like the following:

--- dd.c.orig   2005-05-06 01:03:01.125000000 -0700
+++ dd.c        2005-05-06 01:00:07.265625000 -0700

It would be up to the coreutils maintainer to decide what to do about
this.  It could be handled in a number of ways.
