Not a bug. POSIX allows this behavior, and Linux does it as well. POSIX also allows BSD behavior of seeking to the end, although this is less friendly to reading back a file opened with fopen(...,"a+"). So portable programs can't expect either situation, and you MUST use fseek when opening for append if you expect a particular position. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
