Jim Meyering 295ee521bc head: with --lines=-N (-n-N) reset file pointer on seekable input
* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_seekable): Reset file pointer
after printing up to an end-relative line-counted offset.
Anoop Sharma reported the problem and suggested the fix.
* tests/misc/head-pos: Add coverage via a very similar, existing test.
Also add coverage for a previously untested block of code.
* tests/misc/head-elide-tail ($READ_BUFSIZE): Update to 8192, to
match the value of BUFSIZ I see today on Fedora 17/x86_64 (unrelated
to this fix).
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.

# Exercise the (start_pos < pos) block in elide_tail_lines_seekable.
# So far, this is the only test to do that.
# Do that by creating a file larger than BUFSIZ (I've seen 128K) and
# elide a suffix of it (by line count) that is also larger than BUFSIZ.
# 50000 lines times 6 bytes per line gives us enough leeway even on a
# system with a BUFSIZ of 256K.
