An odd-behaving MyDos 4.53/4 Image

I have a DCM image of MyDos 4.53/4 that seems corrupt.  It's odd, because DCM images are generally write-protected, hence I thought that it should be a good, unaltered image.  My first clue was when I created and formatted a fresh SD ATR image on APE, it "wrote out" many sectors instead of just writing the VTOC & directory sectors.  Many -- probably 100+ sector writes.  But when I checked the Disk Directory (A), it showed 708 free sectors and appeared perfectly normal. Then I wrote out the dos files, and it did the same odd behavior,  It wrote out way too many sectors for both Dos and Dup. 

 

So, long story short... does anyone have a known good image of 4.53/4?  And can anyone offer a thought of what is going on with this DCM image that I have?

 

Thanks,

Larry
