ftell & fgetpos bug in b18.

Mon Sep 1 11:21:00 GMT 1997

ftell and fgetpos report incorrect positions under some circumstances
in B18. I am running on Windows NT 4.0 (SP3).
If you run the program included below with the /* comment me out */
line commented out, ftell erroneously reports ``5'' for the position
in the (existing, and sufficiently large) file foo.txt. With this
line in, ftell correctly reports ``2'' as the position in the input
file.

#include <stdio.h>
main ()
{
 FILE *f;
 long int p;
 int c;
 f = fopen("foo.txt", "r");
 (void) ftell(f); /* comment me out */
 c = getc(f);
 c = getc(f);
 p = ftell(f);
 fprintf(stderr,"Position: %d\n", p);

}
