From: Chris Torek <torek@bsdi.com>
Here is a semi-official patch (apply to /usr/src/lib/libc/stdio/fseek.c,
rebuild libc, install). The current code fails when the seek:
- is optimized, and
- is to just past the end of the block currently in the buffer, and
- is followed by another seek with no intervening read operation, and
- the destination of subsequent seek is within the block left in the
buffer (seeking to the beginning of a block does not force a read,
so the buffer still contains the previous block)
so it is indeed rather obscure.
I may have a different `final' fix, as this one `loses' the buffer
contents on a seek that goes just past the end of the current block.
[Footnote: seeks are optimized only on read-only opens of regular
files that are buffered by the file's optimal I/O size. This is
what you get with fopen(path, "r") and no call to setvbuf().]
