Comment (by james):

 OS X:

 {{{
 $ ./a.out test-file
 info: write() cause SIGXFSZ to be raised
 Cool, that basically worked - please report the info and/or warnings given
 above
 ulimit -f 1000000
 ./a.out test-file
 RLIMIT_FSIZE cur = 0x3d090000
 RLIMIT_FSIZE max = 0x3d090000
 warning: write() succeeded, writing 0 bytes
 lseek SEEK_END now returns 0x7ffffffffffff000 (off_t_max was
 0x7fffffffffffffff)
 warning: write changed file pos to 0x7ffffffffffff000
 Cool, that basically worked - please report the info and/or warnings given
 above
 }}}

 …and then hangs (and disappears from the process listing?). Looks like an
 OS X bug somewhere here (first time I ran it however, it was fine; just
 caught the signal at write).
