Lightbulb ungh... talk to me unix... please...

Ya, gave that a go, no joy. But here's some new news - I can't make a file > 1024 bytes?? I can make a file 1024 bytes but can't add one more character on to it. Doesn't matter where the file is located in $HOME.

Any clues to that end?

This problem is the reason I posted a previous question here, although at the time I didn't realise it was related. I would really like to smash this problem in the face with a sledgehammer once I know what is going on Smilie.

Here's da proof:
Code:
