    Two possible problems:

    (1) You are compiling using 16 bit ints (which is an option under 5.0
	I believe, the default is 32 bits), and did not #include <fcntl.h>,
	thus no prototype and thus the second argument is being passed as
	a short instead of a long.

    (2) You openned the file with the O_APPEND flag.  Any write() to the
	file will always append, period.

    (3) There really is a bug with Aztec.
