This little piece of insanity is inspired by the
fact that an NT client can open a file for O_RDONLY,
but set the create disposition to FILE_EXISTS_TRUNCATE.
If the client *can* write to the file, then it expects to
truncate the file, even though it is opening for readonly.
Quicken uses this stupid trick in backup file creation...
Thanks *greatly* to "David W. Chapman Jr." <dwcjr@inethouston.net>
for helping track this one down. It didn't bite us in 2.0.x
as we always opened files read-write in that release.
Jeremy.
