IO.copy_stream doesn't rewind the destination

[janko-m]

I mean, I wouldn't normally expect that IO.copy_stream would rewind the destination, but MRI does it, and we're currently relying on that behaviour in Refile (although we will add the rewind now). Just to help you to be the closest to MRI :)

# MRI 2.2.0
require "stringio"
require "tempfile"
file = Tempfile.new('foo')
IO.copy_stream(StringIO.new('foo'), file)
file.eof? #=> false (it's on the beginning)

# JRuby 9.0.0.0.pre1
require "stringio"
require "tempfile"
file = Tempfile.new('foo')
IO.copy_stream(StringIO.new('foo'), file)
file.eof? #=> true

This looks like a bug in MRI, probably when using copy_stream with Tempfile. Here it is with a normal file, showing that it definitely does not rewind:

$ rvm ruby-2.2 do ruby -e "f1 = File.open('pom.xml'); f2 = File.open('tmp.txt', 'r+'); IO.copy_stream(f1, f2); p f2.eof?, f2.pos"
true

I believe this is actually a bug in MRI.

Filed as https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11015 so we'll see what MRI says.

They seem to have fixed it. Thanks!
