I tested this, and it failed. I tried to compile it on other UNIXes
as well, but all of them are lacking fmemopen(), so I was unable to
test it there.
On Linux, the output is
fscanf returned 1, ferror=0, feof=0, and the next fgetc returned '4'
Error: By the response to Defect Report #022 Question 29,
scanf should have returned 0 due to a matching failure!
