/*
    By John Walker written ages ago.

    Create a sparse file.

    Beat denial of service floggers to death by persuading
    them to download a HOW_BIG pseudo GIF file which is actually
    a holey file occupying trivial space on our server.

    Make:  make gigaslam            
    Run:   ./gigaslam
    Output: a file named gigaslam.gif that contains something like
            16K bytes (i.e. 2-8K blocks), but appears to be 1GB in 
            length because the second block is written at a 1GB 
            address.

    Be careful what you do with this file as not all programs know
    how to deal with sparse files.

    Tweaked by Kern Sibbald, July 2007 to grow a file to a specified
    size.
