The attached trace has been generated by running win32 program (utorrent.exe)
that creates a file of certain size and then writes to the file in
non-sequential manner. The trace corresponds to that part where it creates the
file. The writing part is done on a seperate file handle and it not relevant
here so i did not include it in the logs.

The described behaviour happens with every program that runs a similar sequence
of kernel32 calls so i do not quite understand what testcase you need.

I see the main problem in sematics: Should wine export Unix file allocation
sematics or should it export native WIN32 NTFS file allocation? I do not know
enough about Wine in order to define whats right and whats wrong but i would
prefer NTFS file allocation semantics because it would give proper results for
those programs that actually care.
