FreeBSD stimpy.troll.no 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Wed Dec  7 09:49:59 CET 2005     root@stimpy.troll.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP  i386
>Description:
When opening one file handle for reading binary and another for writing binary, one can write a byte, flush the file, and then attempt to read two bytes, the function will fail to read the one byte.

This does not happen on HP-UX, AIX, or Linux


>How-To-Repeat:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>

int main()
{
    FILE *writeFile;
    FILE *readFile;
    char readChar;
    int i;

    writeFile = fopen("/tmp/fooFile", "wb");
    readFile = fopen("/tmp/fooFile", "rb");

    for (i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
        fwrite("a", 1, 1, writeFile);
        fflush(writeFile);
        assert(fread(&readChar, 1, 2, readFile) > 0);
    }
    return 0;
}

>Fix:
The programmer can call fseek() and try again. But it's a bit of second guessing. I guess it shouldn't cache the eof check.
