The following test fails against master:

function test_open_remove_write {
    describe "Write to an open but removed file"
    (   
        rm -f ${TEST_TEXT_FILE}
        echo foo
    ) > ${TEST_TEXT_FILE}
}

With the error:

This seems like a corner case that is unlikely to improve much. Since s3fs does not support hard links, the best that we could do is allow reading and writing to the removed file, I guess like a temporary file, then remove it on close.
