Oops, I was so caught up in trying to seek within the buffer, I forgot
about the original problem :). I'm going to update anon CVS with this later
today. You can try it from there to make sure it's okay. I made a slight
variation on your change, just for efficiency and code size.

I don't get this one. Your change doesn't appear to do anything because
further in dev_fo_lseek there is:

    // All OK, set fp offset and return new position.
    *apos = fp->f_offset = pos;

And your comment for the SEEK_CUR case: are you saying that pos shouldn't
be changed? If so, can you explain in more detail why?
