The Solaris version behaves the same as the Linux version.

The difference is the result of the combinations of using the open
mode FAppendData and fseek. When you open a file in write/append mode
("a" in C) the fseeks are ignored if you write. The writes are always
to the end of the file.

We will fix this before the next release.
