I think that there should be a native method to set the file size and
then build truncate and RandomAccessFile.setLength on top of that. I
don't think it would be a good idea for RandomAccessFile.setLength to do
a getLength and then call truncate or grow, because that causes a race
condition.
BTW, I'm fine with this patch for 0.09, but post 0.09 it definitely
should be fixed.
