#358: pre-allocated cache file gets shrunk on start of varnishd

 With the new version, my cache file gets shrunk. I made
 it with dd with a size of ~259 GB, but after starting varnishd, only
 about 119 GB are left. I don't give a size parameter when starting, as
 in

     -s file,/var/cache/varnish/store.bin

 which worked as expected with older releases.

 after another reboot/restart, the cache file has 189 GB.

 according to a post from Tollef, it seems as if the already existing file
 isn't honored, and instead a new file with a size of 50 % of the free
 space is created.
