Hello,

I have recently faced a VERY strange behaviour with GVFS. This behaviour was not present before I updated Ubuntu Jaunty (Gnome 2.26, GVFS 1.2.2) to Karmic (Gnome 2.28.1,GVFS 1.4.2)

Steps to reproduce behaviour:
1. Mount a GVFS-SMB share (via smb://someserver/someshare)
2. Open terminal and cd to this share
3. Run commands:
user@host:~/.gvfs/someshare on someserver$ echo 100 > ./test
user@host:~/.gvfs/someshare on someserver$ echo 200 >> ./test
user@host:~/.gvfs/someshare on someserver$ echo 300 >> ./test
user@host:~/.gvfs/someshare on someserver$ echo 400 > ./test
3. Expected file contents:
400
4. Real file contents:
user@host:~/.gvfs/someshare on someserver$ cat ./test
400
200
300

Similar behaviour is when using a text editor writing with fopen (e.g. Geany: http://www.geany.org). When using gedit (which seems to write via g_file_set_contents), all is OK.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic with Gnome 2.28.1 and GVFS 1.4.2

Is it a bug or an expected behaviour (e.g. all apps dealing with GVFS should use g_file_set_contents)?
