I don't follow your reading of the standards here.  After fopen, the new
stream's file position indicator is at the beginning of the file.
Immediately after fflush, all handles' positions match the last one used.
Since the stream was the only one used, that means the new handle created
by fileno should match the stream's position as of the fflush call,
which is the beginning of the file.
