Is this not a bug in ls or ffs as well then?
Regardless of what Zoo does, should not the OS remain sane?

Looks like you're getting a sparse file -- a large file that actually
takes up little space. It's created by a program seeking beyond the end
of the file but not writing anything (I may be off a bit, but this is
how I understand it). The reported size of the file is large, but it
doesn't take up that much space, which is why df suggests that it's not
significant.

Although I've never used zoo, it's probably a bug there.
