If your version of NetBSD has dtrace ported and enabled, you can check 
if the reordering of the calls is happening within fuse at runtime 
without modifying fuse.
Let me know if this line of debugging helps. I need to understand the 
details of the conversion of ftruncate() to FUSE SETATTR. A pointer to 
the corresponding NetBSD code will help.
