+C99 and POSIX.1-2001 and later require end-of-file to be sticky, that
+is, they require this function to act as if it reads end-of-file if
+@code{feof} would return nonzero.  However, on some systems this
+function attempts to read from the underlying file descriptor even if
+the stream's end-of-file indicator is set.  These systems include
+glibc and default Solaris.
