Wait, what? Same file length is sufficient to trigger overwriting
without -f? I find this to be a very dubious heuristic...
Shouldn't you be checking something like nFileIndexLow/High from
BY_HANDLE_FILE_INFORMATION instead? (ref:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363788(v=VS.85).aspx)
Sure, we'd need some API to check that, but if we assume that this
code path is rare-ish we could do something like this (note,
untested):
