Ok, so "a" and "a+" apparently behave differently in Linux. Submit a patch to newlib if it bothers you. Still, the point remains that this does not violate POSIX. Also, since the underlying open() is _required_ to be at offset 0 when opening a file for appending, it is actually _more_ syscalls if stdio seeks to the end of an append stream during fopen(), rather than waiting until the first write. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
