Hi Ben,

I'm just on a normal HFS+ file system.  The file I'm writing is not
under /tmp.

This sure seems like what's happening (except I'm primarily writing to
the file -- not reading) but it's somehow backfiring and not releasing
the cached part.

That's what it looks like anyway.  I have no idea what's ACTUALLY
happening.  I've never seen anything quite like it.
