Yes it has been done.  I'm running 1.831beta under such conditions.  There
are two ways to get around this problem.  Roll your own ftruncate() or grab
one from one of the various portable packages that includes one.  Jeff Roth
at the Defense Logistics Agency wrote the one that I use.  I can't seem to
find one in the packages that I thought had it :-(

You can reach Jeff at jroth@dsac.dla.mil
