Yes, that's it. I recently updated, using Red Hat's updated package as a
template. It seems that they have just recently added the
--enable-truncate option. Thus my build is using it too.

Looking around, I see very little info on --enable-truncate and when it is
appropriate/beneficial for use. Given that I'm running on Linux, with
the ReiserFS file system, would I be better off using this option or not?

Thanks.
