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. Additional info:
