Ah ! :-)))

I already suspected this to be the case.
At least I already found due to some error code that some ftruncate()
must have failed, and I think I thus called it an ftruncate problem.

Oh, and yes, that error condition was in the server, too, so it must have
been this ftruncate.

And one more: In several cases, some guys reported that programs needed some
"touch"ing before being able to save a file.
What do you wanna bet that *this* is the problem that's now solved ?? :)

In short: a very important fix, I think.

I guess we can call you a Wine Master now ;)
