When a stdio stream is opened in update mode (e.g., "w+"), the C standard forbids switching between reading or writing without an intervening positioning function. Many implementations are lenient about this, but Solaris libc will flush the recently-read contents to the output buffer. In this instance, that meant writing the non-echoed password that the user just typed to the terminal. Fix it by inserting a no-op fseek between the read and write. The opposite direction (writing followed by reading) is also disallowed, but our intervening fflush is an acceptable positioning function for that alternative.
