On `/proc/cpuinfo` for example, `fstat()` succeeds but `st_size` in `struct stat` is zero. The correct position is however returned by `lseek()`. Apparently this proposal needs to be reworked to expect size zero when the size is in fact non-zero. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/3845
