Huh.  Looks like that's documented behavior of Linux's seek.  (See the
ERRORS section of the lseek(2) man page.)  Looks like Solaris also
returns -ENXIO in this case:

	https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26502_01/html/E29032/lseek-2.html

And freebsd too:

	https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=lseek&sektion=2

I wonder where that spec language came from?

Our NFS server could translate an -ENXIO return into 0 and sr_eof ==
true easily enough, assuming -ENXIO is really only ever returned in that
case.

I haven't tested, but from a quick check of the Linux client code I
think that would require a matching fix on the client side to translate
sr_eof == 0 *back* to ENXIO.

I don't know if it's worth it.
