Ah, sorry if I wasn't clear.  I don't think you need the open() call to have a
valid reproducer.  In mine, in fact, I only use the first three - the error
happens with a combination of write(), fdatasync() and ftruncate().

I just wanted to note that the test program (which was autogenerated?) had an
unreachable case in the switch() statement. :)

Thanks for this testing, by the way!
