Jim,
You might just want to change the code to create and close a FileOutputStream
in a way that doesn't truncate or damage the target file. Or maybe use the NIO
file code if that is possible. See BUG ID 4420020.

I think so too. As it needs a FileChannel anyway, then it may be simpler
to just use FileChannel.open(lf, WRITE), that won't truncate the file
and will also throw a useful IOException in the event that it fails. As
there are specific IOException thrown for specific cases then it may be
possible to eliminate the loop completely for I/O error cases.
