What's the proper way to 'checkpoint' an open file so as to ensure that the 
file's control structures are consistant on disk?  I would have thought that 
calling fflush() after every file write would be sufficient, but a recent trap 
proved that calling fflush() after file writes was no protection against CHKDSK 
truncating the file well before the last write.  I suppose I could close and 
reopen the file after every update, but I was hoping to find a more elegant 
solution.  Any ideas?
