Comment (by elb):

 I really don't see how that is possible.  Look at
 purple_util_write_data_to_file in util.c.  We write the entire contents of
 blist.xml to blist.xml.save, close the file, check to see that the entire
 file wrote, then *stat* the file to make sure it's the appropriate size,
 and only if all of that succeeds do we rename() it to blist.xml.

 I challenge your assertion that you have actually seen this behavior on
 multiple filesystems, unless you have some more fundamental error.
