The reason is that ftruncate is defined with the second argument being
off_t, which is 8 byte. 524304 is an int (4 byte) only, though. Since
ftruncate is declared in unistd.h, but you didn't include unistd.h, the
2nd parameter to ftruncate is auto-propagated to int, which results in
an invalid new file length, and which makes ftruncate fail. Since you
missed to check ftruncate's return value... you get the idea.
