The ftruncate should have worked, but it didn't. We now check for ftruncate
failure in HEAD, so the attached backport from issue i105828 will likely fix
this problem in the sense that it will refuse to continue to mmap afterwards and
try a different location (/tmp) for the required foo. If so this can be
considered a duplicate of issue 105828

Probably best if someone in Novell files something against their samba component
to check if that initial ftruncate should really have failed and why.
