The problem does not occur if there is no pread()/pwrite() before the
fork(). This suggests that the child process inherits the extra handle
value used to keep the original seek position, but not the actual handle.
The mentioned extra handle 'prw_handle' is set to null after fork here:
https://cygwin.com/git/?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=blob;f=winsup/cygwin/fhandler/disk_file.cc;h=f4c21d3#l1698
But a test suggests that fhandler_disk_file::fixup_after_fork() is never
called or debug_printf() does not work if called in this function.
Thoughts?
