Some fool wrote:

"I saw other problems on handle 1 [snip...]   But getting the
current position did return bogus values on appended files.  This could
eventually cause us to destroy all data in an appended handle by writing
to the start instead of appending."

Hummm ... I wonder why the fool forgot to find a fix for this one.
