Ah, durr, you’re right. Apologies, I once had the displeasure of debugging an ancient codebase that used the same Unix file descriptor with unlocked reads and writes across at least half a dozen threads. The original query brought some memories I had long suppressed. J.E., please disregard my original answer. Jens is right, two independent file handles reading from the same file on their own threads should be A-okay!
