2715	Copy issue with sparse files	BzF		"If I copy sparse file (created with:
dd if=/dev/zero of=01-sparse.img bs=1 count=0 seek=1M
) using mc built-in copy (F5) then it creates file with allocated size (02-sparse-mc4.8.1.img)
If I use cp (cp 01-sparse.img 03-sparse-cp.img) it keeps the size unallocated:

$ ls -al 01-sparse.img 02-sparse-mc4.8.1.img 03-sparse-cp.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 boris boris 1048576 2012-01-17 23:02 01-sparse.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 boris boris 1048576 2012-01-17 23:02 02-sparse-mc4.8.1.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 boris boris 1048576 2012-01-17 23:03 03-sparse-cp.img

but
$ ls -1 -s 01-sparse.img 02-sparse-mc4.8.1.img 03-sparse-cp.img
0 01-sparse.img
