Ah is that

  	if (sqFTruncate(fileno(f->file),offset)) {


It's a bit magical right here to help truncate unaware unmentionable 
operating systems lie about file truncation.

I see in sq.h
#define sqFTruncate(filenum, fileoffset) true

That lies by default.


#ifdef macintoshSqueak has

#undef sqFTruncate
#define sqFTruncate(f,o) ftruncate(f, o)

but somehow I doubt you are getting the macintoshSqueak defined.

so you must be getting the unix one?

#undef sqFTruncate
#define sqFTruncate(fp, offs) ftruncate(fileno(fp),offs)


But I'm a bit confused here because the code here reads 
sqFTruncate(fileno(f->file),offset) *AND* the #define has fileno in 
it too!!!!

So maybe one of the Unix folks can tell me why it compiles on 
Linux????? I see Tim has a comment about dropping the fileno in 
sqFilePluginBasicPrims.c but that appears to be incorrect. Mind I 
seem to have check it? Surely it's been compiled on Linux machines by 
now?

Try changing the
if (sqFTruncate(fileno(f->file),offset)) {

to
if (sqFTruncate(f->file,offset)) {

but we'll need to review why it's not been a reported issue.


So what's the problem with the mpeg plugin?
