	But it's actually full of nulls.  This bug hits
	all filesystems which allow "holey" files, and the
	fix involved better checks and setting the delete-on-close
	flag.  The patch is at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba-technical&m=99291490717114&w=2
	but it used st_blocks and st_blksize, and some
	part of it was deferred for later....

	I see CVS checkins for NFS quota bugs, was this
	one fixed as well?
