Description John Kohl 2001-08-07 19:10:37 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.74 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.7 sun4u)

Description of problem:
Something is fishy in seekdir() and/or telldir().
A regression test we use for testing our own file system works great on
every other UNIX we've tried it on, but on Linux it gets failures
due to something in how seekdir() and telldir() manage their directory
offset values.   A telldir() followed by a seekdir() to that location and
another
telldir() does not yield the same directory offset value.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile the attached program
2. run it like so: "seekdir <dirname>" (no pathname separators in the
dirname, please)
	

Actual Results:  It complains about fishy results.

Expected Results:  Nothing should be printed.
