I should add that the code concerned is in io/transfer.c, line 1174:
/* Overwriting an existing sequential file ?
it is always safe to truncate the file on the first write */
if (g.mode == WRITING
&& current_unit->flags.access == ACCESS_SEQUENTIAL
&& current_unit->last_record == 0)
struncate(current_unit->s);
Well, my opinion is that this comment is wrong! :)
