[Bug c/36913] New: rewind does not work for files over 8GB

rewind does not work for files over 8GB (in my case).
Closing the file and opening it again does work.

rewind is a C library function, this is the Bugzilla for the GNU compiler
collection, the wrong place to report about its possible misbehaviors.

Subject: Re:  rewind does not work for files over 8GB

Do you imply that it's source is universal? If so, can it be true that the GNU
implementation of some lower level function called by 'rewind' is incorrect?

I meant simply that one thing is the (C, whatever) compiler (this is the
Bugzilla for the GNU *compiler* collection), one thing is the C library. rewind
is a C library function. Likely you are experiencing a problem with the LFS
feature (support for files bigger than 2G on 32bit platforms) of your C
library. Please further investigate and then, in case, report about it in
proper place.
