Lowering the priority; Sjoerd's theory sounds very plausible! Can the
original submittor confirm this? Then we can close the bug report...
Barry still can't do anything about this...

Assigned back to Barry so that he can deal with this further. I'm on
vacation as of tomorrow.
My guess is that the problem is a lack of disk space on the user's test
machine. When you seek far away and write a byte on an SGI file system
(EFS or XFS) the system actually allocates the blocks. There is no such
thing as holes in files on the SGI file systems. I happen to have enough
disk space available, so the test runs fine. I assume the submitter of the
bug didn't have enough disk space available and so the flush couldn't
complete.

Comment:
Reassigning because I have neither large file support nor an IRIX machine.
Guido suggests that Sjoerd might have access to IRIX.
