Hello!

I have teh following perl code:

open (F, ">>$file");
print F $somedata."\n";
close F;

when i run of out disk space this code somehow
results in 0 file length (basically kills the file). I have
lost a pretty big user list because of this. How this
happens? I should not rtuncate file, just append to it,
right?
