Had a quick look at some old notes. If someone is looking for a
possible code fix in RCS 5.8: try adding an fflush of the "stream" of
the "fro" struct to the macro "fro_bob" in b-fro.h. Something like
this perhaps:
#define fro_bob(f) do { if (STDIO_P(f)) fflush((f)->stream); fro_move (f,
0) } while (0)
Idea: whenever the file is reset to the beginning, the stream is
"cleaned". See also
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Linked-Channels.html
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Cleaning-Streams.html
The code in ci.c uses the fro_bob macro to reset the file to the
start.
Untested, don't have time for testing myself now.

Peter Wagemans
