Thanks for the thorough explanation. So it's a problem when a file has 
recently been modified and not yet been written back to disk. Would it 
be worth to force a flush to disk before SEEK_* operations can start? I 
don't know if it's easier to do all the lookups you suggested, or do an 
fsync. That could have it's own impacts, though.
