Ack, thanks for the catch. I have a workaround for stat in the form of
"wc -c", and for truncate with a combination of dd and /dev/zero.
However, I'm finding conflicting information about whether or not
/dev/zero exists on macOS. At the least, it sounds like it might not
work on very old versions. Would this be acceptable, or should I add a
new test function to do this?

Ack, will fix in V4. Thanks.
