|Thanks, nobu. There's some related oddness, however:

On your platform, ruby 1.8 seems to copy the position in the stream
when 1.9 don't.  1.8 does simply use dup2 + fdopen, where no standard
define if position information is shared among such file descriptors
or not, as far as I know.  So it's up to stdio of the platform.  1.9
implements our own I/O, so we can define the behavior.
