Description:
------------
The PHP streams for stdin, stdout and stderr are seekable which results in php_stream_flush() and seek being called on it.

For some reason php_stream_flush() fails to actually write the data while still calling seek and resetting the stream position.

Suggested solution:
- Find out why php_stream_flush() fails and fix it (I don't know enough about it)
- Mark (some? all?) stdio streams as PHP_STREAM_FLAG_NO_SEEK in sapi/cli/php_cli.c (see patch)
- Mark stdio streams as PHP_STREAM_FLAG_NO_SEEK in ext/standard/php_fopen_wrapper.c


Reproduce code:
---------------
php -r 'echo "hello1\n"; posix_isatty(STDOUT); echo "hello2\n";' >out; cat out


Expected result:
----------------
hello1
hello2


Actual result:
--------------
hello2
