I observed a memory leak (about 20 bytes per iteration) when I ran this 

simple program on my Scientific Linux 5.4 box (kernel version 2.6.18-
128.1.1.e15).

What I did was noting the output of "free -m" before and after I ran the 

program (which loops for 300000). I observed a 6MB increase in memory use
d.  
No error was printed during the run.

If I comment out the 2 fseek statements, then I don't see any memory 
increase.

The file size is about 700KB.

I was wondering if someone can tell me if this is a known issue or if I'm
 
doing something wrong.

Thanks,
Khoa.
