My understanding of the problem is that clearerr() needs to be called
before any FILE read operations on *some* platforms. The only platform I
saw mentioned was OS X. Towards that end, I have attached a much simpler
patch onto the tracker issue, which maybe somebody can verify solves the
problem because I do not have access to a platform which fails the test
that was originally given.
