   I have no time to check your patch now, but I have the only question - will 
   write() call seek to the end of file if O_APPEND is set on every write call 
   (incorrect behavior) or just on on the first call?

Just to clarify, as I just posted, seeking to the end of file on every
write call if O_APPEND is set is correct behaviour.
