Perhaps I didn't express myself well enough. All you say is true. What I
meant is that the patch avoids fseek buggy behavior only when
seek_offset==0, but I am not sure that this bug does not exist when
seek_offset > 0, as well. This might require some more experimenting on
your platform. On the other hand, since this platform is obsolete, I
doubt if it's worth the effort.

I'll do. Technically speaking, the cause of that particular problem
(running two testcases with -k pipe) is that testsuite looks for
keywords in both keyword section of the testcase and in its header
string.

Have you tried ./testsuite --help ? :)
