[issue7640] buffered io seek() buggy

[Pascal Chambon]

Hello

I advocate the inclusion of this patch to the 2.6 maintenance branch, because currently the io module in this branch (which is still the most recent 2.X version released) is simply broken. 
People using it will certainly encounter MAJOR file corruptions due to the buggy seek().

Or should we rather backport the much more evoluated io of trunk to py2.6 ?
