I knew this topic had come up somewhere
recently, but couldn't remember where. I thought we'd tested truncate at the same time, and got the same result for both -- we're back to the Rumsfeld unknown knowns.

As a thought to Waleed on why they act
differently - either it's an oversight, or the whole truncate section of code is written too differently to allow the change to be inserted easily.

I think that's a recent addition though. I remeber an OakTable discussion about this when we were
testing 'drop' on lmt's in 8 and 9.0, the tsq$ update occurred for every extent dropped, and this
was enhanced in 9.2 to be just once at the end of the drop
