	 * uninitialized bytes will be zeroed:
	 *
	 *   If the file is extended, the contents of the file between the old
	 *   EOF position and the new position are not defined.
	 *
	 * Experiments confirm that NT/2K/XP all zero fill for both NTFS and
	 * FAT32.  Cygwin also relies on this behavior.  This is the relevant
	 * comment from Cygwin:
	 *
	 *    Oops, this is the bug case - Win95 uses whatever is on the disk
	 *    instead of some known (safe) value, so we must seek back and fill
	 *    in the gap with zeros. - DJ
	 *    Note: this bug doesn't happen on NT4, even though the
	 *    documentation for WriteFile() says that it *may* happen on any OS.
	 *
	 * We're making a bet, here, but we made it a long time ago and haven't
	 * yet seen any evidence that it was wrong.
	 *
	 * Windows 95/98 and On-Time give random garbage, and that breaks
	 * Berkeley DB.
