bug#17145: head fails with implicit stdin on darwin

[Denis Excoffier]

Hello,

head -n -1 -- -
or equivalently
head -n -1
returns immediately (ie does not wait for further stdin) and prints nothing.

I use coreutils 8.22 compiled (with gcc-4.8.2) on top of darwin 13.1.0 
(Mavericks).

However the following seem to work perfectly:
head -n 1
head -c -1
cat | head -n -1
head -n -1 ---presume-input-pipe
on cygwin: head -n -1

What is weird on my system is lseek() at the beginning of 
elide_tail_lines_file():
lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR) returns a (random?) number, something like 6735, 539 etc.
lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END) returns 0

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Denis Excoffier.
