Here's the rub -- we use the Erlang VM to open the file and it doesn't understand the O_SYNC option (and arguably shouldn't). We'll have to patch the VM in order to get it to do the right thing on Linux. In the interim, we will probably just generate a warning message when using this option on Linux. Thanks for pointing it out!
