Matt LeBlanc noted to me that the call to sysopen() has changed in the
default driver. In particular, the O_TRUNC attribute was removed. Anyone
know why?

His follow-up message to K.G. was along these lines, but we haven't
gotten a response from K.G. yet. 

I researched O_TRUNC some and could find very little about when to use
it and avoid it, so I can't recommend one variation as preferable over
the other.

However, I'm inclined to put it back how it was unless there is a
compelling reason to change it, as that should maximize compatibility.
