-      this rather strange bit of code is here to work around a bug
-      in file offsets in NuttX. Every few hundred blocks of reads
-      (starting at around 350k into a file) NuttX will get the
-      wrong offset for sequential reads. The offset it gets is
-      typically 128k earlier than it should be. It turns out that
-      calling lseek() with 0 offset and SEEK_CUR works around the
-      bug. We can remove this once we find the real bug.
