That was the problem. I deleted the file, ran lsh, and had no garbage in
the file. Ran lsh again, and still no garbage. Replaced captured_keys with
100 lines of "testing\n", this time got garbage at the end of the line.
Looked at the truss output:
syscall open("/home/ejs/.lsh/captured_keys",521,0600)
521 is O_APPEND|O_CREAT|O_WRONLY so that looks right.
syscall fcntl(0x6,0x4,0x4)
0x4 is F_SETFL
syscall fcntl(0x6,0x2,0x1)
0x2 is F_SETFD
syscall write(6,0x808540c,500)
syscall write(6,0x8085600,213)
And we never close the file? the F_SETFD is setting close_on_exec though.
I've never played with fcntl, but somehow lsh is getting the OS to ignore
the O_APPEND flag.
