Description
Failure example:
http://gtee.sfbay/gtee/results/MUSTANG/NIGHTLY/VM-MAIN/VM/2007-05-20.pit/Main_Baseline/vm/64BITWIN-AMD64/server/mixed/vm-64BITWIN-AMD64_server_mixed_HS_REGRESSION2007-05-21-12-34-29/closed/runtime/6244515/Truncate.jtr

The test hardcodes /tmp/z which does not exist on Windows.
Comments
EVALUATION The test fails because the way the test case creates the temporary file. However, even though that is fixed, the test will still fail on Windows since Windows does not allow the file to be truncated when it still has user-mapped region open. Having said that, I believe the correct way to fix this bug is to ignore the test specifically on Windows platform.
