Relative seek is not quite supported on text-open files. ANSI says so,
if I'm not mistaken. So it is nothing to complain, IMHO. And, btw,
read and fseek don't have anything common.

Deleting CR before seeing LF is simpler and probably faster than
reading ahead and checking. Text files are not supposed to contain CR
alone.
