I took a look at implementation of FILE structure in newlib/libc/include/sys/reent.h (src distribution). It contains the field -offset:

struct __sFILE {
    ...
    int    _offset;    /* current lseek offset */
    ...
};

Struct FILE typedef'ed as __sFILE. So, there exist two file offset references: one for streams, another for block I/O. I think, block I/O is based on WinAPI file I/O. Stream I/O should be built, in general, on block I/O level. And when you use lseek() the resulting file offset is not sinchronized with the file offset field in the respective stream structure (*stdin, in your case) because block I/O knows nothing about stream I/O.

Regards,

Micahel
