Hmmm, I thought it was fixed in CVS.

Evidence from <libc/fd_props.h>:

/* Tell write and _write to test for file offset greater than EOF.  If so,
   they will fill the gap with zeroes.  */
#define FILE_DESC_ZERO_FILL_EOF_GAP 0x02

I'm sure this worked before. I'm sure I checked it once, when I was messing
with the fd_props and open code.

Have you built binutils 2.14 against DJGPP CVS without your patch?

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
