Hmmm, I have the odd feeling that this won't be accepted as a solution
:-)

However, if you look back at the patch that went in on the 27th of
February, you'll see that the inclusion of unistd.h was specifically
added to get a prototype of ftruncate *and for no other reason*.

Would it be a solution to "agree" on a prototype and add *that* instead
of the unistd.h include ?  Or would that evoke other problems ?

Mark ?
