Issue #4563 has been updated by Daniel Berger.


I was expecting "1", in part because of the example from the pickaxe, and also because that's what JRuby returns. OS X 10.4 returns a simple index, too. However, I now see it's not necessarily just a simple index, depending on the platform.

Dir#tell is not returning the correct value after a read: 

 dir = Dir.new(Dir.pwd)
 p dir.tell # => 0
 dir.read
 p dir.tell # => 56334832
