What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version go1.13.4 darwin/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

This is the latest.

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

What did you do?

This piece of code opens a directory file and calls f.Readdirnames(0). Then it calls f.Seek(0, 0) to reset to the head of the file, and calls f.Readdirnames(0) again.

https://play.golang.org/p/IEb3BH2Jlxg

What did you expect to see?

On Linux, the playground, and earlier versions of MacOS, the second call to f.Readdirnames(0) returns the same directory list as the first call:

$ go build .
$ ./test
2019/11/21 16:56:37 try 1:[test main.go]
2019/11/21 16:56:37 seeked to offset: 0
2019/11/21 16:56:37 try 2:[test main.go]

What did you see instead?

On MacOS 10.15.1 Catalina, the second call returns an empty list:

% go build .
% ./test    
2019/11/21 16:55:22 try 1:[test main.go]
2019/11/21 16:55:22 seeked to offset: 0
2019/11/21 16:55:22 try 2:[]
