Again: Wine doesn't force or create sparse files. This is a file system
feature. Wine simply passes the app's API requests to libc/Linux kernel.

I'm not sure why this bug has been reopened, there no a test case or
a confirmation that there is a Wine bug of some kind, or why sparse
files shouldn't be created at all, and why they cause any problem.
