 *              function becomes a no-op.
 *
 *              If we are closing, and there is backing store, we set the

 *              the new eof
 *

 *              to the smallest multiple of the allocation increment that
 *              equals or exceeds the eoa and set the eof accordingly.
 *              Note that we no longer truncate    the backing store to the
 *              new eof if applicable.
 *                                                                  -- JRM
