Description

The DOSFS extends a file on a seek past the end of a file. The SUS states in the
lseek page:

"The lseek() function shall not, by itself, extend the size of a file."

The file shall only be extended when a write occurs with the file at this
position. An lseek past the end of a file should return EOF.

There is also another bug. If a file is opened as read only then lseek is
called past the end of the file the file will be extended.
