it's hard to know I've really worked around it. The fix should be
harmless, anyway). The symptom of the bug is that the first
fread (in read_one_sym), will (in my example) actually get data
from file offset 268, when the fseek was to 264 (and ftell shows
264). This causes all hell to break loose. I was unable to
reproduce this on a short test program which operated on the same
file, performing (I think) the same sequence of operations.
It stopped happening when I put in this rewind().
FIXME: Find out if this has been reported to Sun, whether it has
been fixed in a later release, etc. */
