# FIXME: this should be a test of dd.
# On some systems (at least linux-2.4.18 + NFS to disks on a Solaris system)
# the `dd' command above mistakenly creates a file of length `0', yet
# doesn't fail. The root of that failure is that the ftruncate call
# returns zero but doesn't do its job. Detect this failure.
