bug in file.write() ?

Hi,

I think I found a bug in the write method of file objects. It seems as
if before writing each block, a check was done in order to verifiy
that there is enough space left for the *whole* file, not for the
*remaining* data to be written.

It happens both under 2.3 and 2.2.3.
Any ideas?
