it's not clear if this is the right place for doing it because the system does not really change the file size with lseek (maybe on some systems), but after a write operation on the file descriptor is done. maybe it needs to be done in PIO_unix_write if fpos > fsize. Anyway it's system dependent, and will need to be refined to match different systems, and I saw no harm in introducing it hier as first approach.
