The bug is rather strange. I would have imagined that fseek() and
rewind() are using the file descriptor internally. It's more than weird
that an operation on the file handler doesn't affect the file
descriptor. I wonder how they were able to manage it ...

IronPython might be fun but I've hacked PythonDotNet. You get the worst
from the C, .NET/C# and Mono together. Debugging is fun when you have to
do multiple turns with two debuggers and one of the debuggers is partly
broken. :[
