User code:
  Thread A:
    pwrite(fd, "a", 1, 0);
  Thread B:
    pwrite(fd, "b", 1, 1);


Libc wrapper:
  Thread A:
    lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET);
    write(fd, "a", 1);
  Thread B:
    lseek(fd, 1, SEEK_SET);
    write(fd, "b", 1);


If the threads operate at one syscall per wakeup, instead of "ab" the file
will contain "\0ab". So use a mutex, you'd say? Try signal handlers then.


For the reverse, implementing write() and seek() by storing the seek
position in a variable, try an O_APPEND file opened by two different
processes, or something unseekable like a tty.
