I believe this is because not everyone in the library calls lseek - there
are 5 different pieces of code which do this using the interrupt.  All
would need to be patched (and consistently).  And if we are doing it,
there is no need to call seek_cur twice in a row ... I would suggest
a common _seek() routine.

This actually is doesn't do anything for this example, but if you try to
redirect from NUL instead of "test" you will see now that stat succeeds
as a non-regular file instead of failing.
