As by
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13494417/ftruncate-on-file-opened-with-fopen
- a file descriptor needs to be flushed before being truncated. It seems
to be coincidence that this has worked on 32 bit systems.

The FilePlugin doesn't do that. Should the FileHandle class be changed
for this, the Plugin code, or is the test invalid?

Kind regards
  Markus
