According to Eric Blake on 3/1/2008 10:44 AM:

On further investigation, I think this is a true bug in newlib's stdio,
and not in your code. This simpler program fails some of the time, but
not if there was a previous ftell:
$ cat foo.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int
main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
~ int i1, i2;
~ if (argc > 1)
~ {
~ i2 = ftell (stdin);
~ printf ("i2=%d\n", i2);
~ }
~ /* Test behaviour after arbitrary ungetc. */
~ fgetc (stdin);
~ if (argc > 1)
~ {
~ i2 = ftell (stdin);
~ printf ("i2=%d\n", i2);
~ }
~ ungetc ('@', stdin);
~ if (argc > 1)
~ {
~ i2 = ftell (stdin);
~ printf ("i2=%d\n", i2);
~ }
~ i1 = fseek (stdin, 2, SEEK_CUR);
~ i2 = ftell (stdin);
~ printf ("i1=%d i2=%d\n", i1, i2);
~ return 0;
}
$ ./foo < foo.c
i1=-1 i2=-536
$ ./foo a < foo.c
i2=0
i2=1
i2=0
i1=0 i2=2

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
