Because that buffer overrun of globalSalt overwrites the fd! So you are
calling fseek with a trashed file descriptor.
I suppose it should be globalSalt[25] now. I see from the comments it
has grown over time (with newer versions of Mozilla) from 16 but they
forgot to bump the size in the struct.
Problem is gone once this is fixed.
