It might well be libc, which was changed to ignore truncate errors because of Win2k/XP problems with character devices: http://www.delorie.com/bin/cvsweb.cgi/djgpp/src/libc/posix/fcntl/open.c.diff?r1=1.9&r2=1.10 But the operation isn't so odd: a "touch"ed 0 byte file when opened by the c-library open(...,O_TRUNC|O_RDWR) (without O_CREAT) will get you this.
