+	Make fflush after ungetc work on BSD platforms.
+	* lib/fflush.c (rpl_fflush): Discard ungetc buffer if possible.
+	* tests/test-fflush2.c: New file.
+	* tests/test-fflush2.sh: New file.
+	* modules/fflush-tests (Files): Add tests/test-fflush2.sh,
+	tests/test-fflush2.c.
+	(Makefile.am): Build test-fflush2 and run test-fflush2.sh.
+	* doc/posix-functions/fflush.texi: Document fflush after ungetc bug.

+     This is needed before fetching the file-position indicator, because
+     1) The file position indicator is incremented by fgetc() and decremented
+        by ungetc():
+        <http://www.opengroup.org/susv3/functions/fgetc.html>
+          "The file-position indicator is decremented by each successful
+           call to ungetc()..."

+          "... the fgetc() function shall ... advance the associated file
+        position indicator for the stream ..."
+     2) <http://www.opengroup.org/susv3/functions/ungetc.html> says:
+          "The value of the file-position indicator for the stream after
+           reading or discarding all pushed-back bytes shall be the same
+           as it was before the bytes were pushed back."
+     3) Here we are discarding all pushed-back bytes.
+
+     Unfortunately it is impossible to implement this on platforms with
+     _IOERR, because an ungetc() on this platform prepends the pushed-back
+     bytes to the buffer without an indication of the limit between the
+     pushed-back bytes and the read-ahead bytes.  */
