These APIs have been buggy since 10.4 and Apple flatly refuses to fix them
Here's my recent answer from DTS:
"Unfortunately, this API is simply not heavily used by the wider development
community and when it is used it tends to be used for very narrow, simplistic
purposes (which generally work properly). Because of that and the complexity
of the underlying code, it's been very, very difficult to get bug fixes out
within software updates. I've done everything I can to get the issues you've
raised to me fixed as quickly as possible, but ultimately I cannot make
engineering fixes these bugs or release them."

So, Apple knows they are buggy and just isn't going to put forth the effort to fix them.
Why is data destruction bugs not a priority at Apple? Out of the thousands of APIs you would think these two would be a high priority.
