I am still wondering about this issue, and the issue does not seem any
clearer since my first question.

I belive that:
	ostringstream ost;
	cout << ost.tellp() << endl;
	ofstream ofs("tmp");
	cout << ost.tellp() << endl;
	FILE * fil = fopen("tmp2", ...);
	cout << ftell(file) << endl;

should all yield the same value. I also believe that this value should
be 0. And have so far not heard any good reason to the contrary.

Isn't there any definite ruling on this issue? In the standard, POSIX
whatever? Or is this completely implementation defined?
