Using dd to copy an .img onto an SD card and it ended with systemd-udevd crashed with SIGABRT in __open_nocancel()

[Thomas A. F. Thorne]

I was using dd to copy an image onto an sd card:
$ sudo dd bs=4M if=2016-03-18-octopi-jessie-lite-0.13.0.img of=/dev/sdb
[sudo] password for user:

422+1 records in
422+1 records out
1772094464 bytes (1.8 GB, 1.7 GiB) copied, 458.771 s, 3.9 MB/s
$
$ sync

As the command completed an error was reported. Running sync after the error message was seen seems to have worked OK. The image I was attempting to copy to the card also seems to be OK.
