New bug in ddrescue 1.15 reverse mode

[Hank Schultz]

When recovering from a drive in reverse mode, if the recovery is stopped and restarted, fractions of the last cancelled block wind up getting skipped (I haven't waited to see when it retries).  It appears that the current_pos is honored, and maybe it should be set to a different value (e.g. the end of the block in reverse, rather than the beginning of the block).

Thanks for reporting this. I'll look at it as soon as possible, but I
think your diagnosis is probably right.


Best regards,
Antonio.
