I didn't know this support was there, I will try it (after I come
up-to-date - I have a 1.0A kernel).
However, I am concerned about something I read in a trade rag; they
said if two files have the same truncation, the second one moved in
will overwrite the first one. Or something like that. Maybe the
file has to be _exactly_ the truncation. I forget.
