However in c I can specify

I haven't seen an equvivalent to O_TRUNC in fpc ?
Sure there is:
uses baseunix;
Var
H : integer;
begin
h:=fpOpen(fname,O_WrOnly or o_trunk)
end.
But that is not relevant:
a) FPC itself should not work around kernel/vbox bugs.
b) It would not help in Mattias' case anyway...
I never said FPC should workaround, and I am not in favour for the
Lazarus to do so.
Then again, if that had been a cross platform argument, there would be
no reason (IMHO) why lazarus could not set the flag , when opening the
file. If it had been cross-platform....
