Using djgpp 2.9.5.2, I want to use the ftruncate() function to increase
the size of my file; according to the documentation, it is to return
non-zero on failure.

I am testing with my ram-drive, and when all available space is
allocated, zero is still returned.

I have also tested on my hard-drive (enlarging the file to a reasonable
size then an unreasonable size).
Both returned zero.

Is this a bug? Feature?
