I suspect that it's for when a forked child or another thread has read
and moved the sysseek position and therefore must be put back to the
handle's tell() position.  If so it sounds a little misguided, you'd
probably hope for a better way for threads/forks to cooperate on the
DATA handle.

Perhaps, if the systell() was grabbed at the right time.
