Problem
The SDK v3.1 changed the behavior of how the SDK opens file streams in "a" or "a+" mode.
Symptom
Earlier SDK file stream APIs, when used with the 'a' or 'a+' permission, opened the existing file
with the stream position pointing at the start of the file. Starting with the SDK v3.1, the file now
opens with the stream position pointing at the end of the file.
