I am having problems with the ifstream seekg member: it seems to always
return EOF.

In particular, I am doing something along these lines:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    ifstream("in");

    while ( !in.eof() ) {
	read data and parse it
    }

    in.seekg(0);	// tried seekg(0, ios::beg) also

    while ( !in.eof() ) {
	re-read data
    }

}

Looking in the iostream library code I found that there is a member
seekg which always returns EOF... Am I doing something wrong?
