[BUG] fopen(..., "a") does not seek to end of file until some write operation

Hii

Using ftell() after fopen(..., "a") returns 0 even when the file open for appending is not empty. AFAIK, it should return the size of the file.

Compile and run the attached program several times to see it happening.

Cheers,
