file i/o troubles

[Andrew Bythell]

Hello -

I am seeing strange behaviour when writing to files using the IMFS and
rtems-ss-20010326.  I had this same problem with earlier snapshots too. 
Consider:

FILE *fp = fopen("somefile", "w");
fprintf(fp, "line1\n");
fclose();
fp = fopen("somefile", "a");
fprintf("fp, "line2\n");
fclose();

The first time I call this routine, 'somefile' is created and contains:

line1
line2

which is fine.  Subsequent calls, using the same or different filename,
insert junk (NULL characters) between line1 and line2:

line1
^@^@^@^@^@^@...
line2

Can anyone offer an explanation and/or solution?
