It seems that the V.3.1 "lseek()" does not return a negative value when asserted with a negative offset. There is some talk in the manual concerning this behavior with remote file systems; however, this problem appears when accessed local file descriptors too. Is there something I'm missing? -- Mark Campbell m.campbell@ncrcae.Columbia.NCR.COM
