I don't see anything wrong here :(

The diff I shared to re-open the carrier file instead of using seek()
doesn't make a difference?

If it doesn't please use the version you shared here, even if it's
unstable right now. I'll try to find the time to investigate what's
wrong with the test infra. Better that than accumulating workarounds.
