Could this in any way affect already-compiled libraries or programs?

This shouldn't be needed; the flsbuf() call should move to EOF.

Can we remove all the else cases, and have llseek return a failure if
we can't seek?  Then we'd have just one _write() call left (the
original one, left there).

Is this needed?  write() would seek there anyway.
