It is probably returning the same data twice, or something even  
weirder.  They're not really meant to be used concurrently since they  
do basically the same thing, and you'll get no advantage from one if  
you're already using the other.

Looks like I have a FIXME for this case, in fact.

Even if it worked, prefetching would destroy any performance you'd  
get from readv, so probably not worth it.  readv was basically added  
so bzr could avoid prefetching the entire file. :)
