If you mean the offset associated with fd, we actually do.

The original HP-UX error is confusing, as we ask pread() to
transfer 428 bytes and it returns 0 (not returning -1 with
EINTR).  Return value of zero is understandable, if the starting
position is at or after the EOF, but the offset is 123601 and
56k objects packed from git.git repository should be longer than
that, so that also sounds implausible.
