Is that the exact message you're getting?  Nothing like that message seems to be 
in the source code.

Can you run the following command instead?

  strace -o tr dd ibs=20b if=/tmp/test3

and look in 'tr' for the system calls that fail and generate the diagnostics 
you're seeing?

Can you reproduce the problem in coreutils 8.23, the current version?  Perhaps 
the bug, whatever it is, has already been fixed.
