<pre>I can see this curious behavior:
# ./journalctl -D /var/log/journal.cursor-bug -p3 -u rhsc-ws.service

That is, when feeding a certain cursor back into journalctl, it will fail to
seek to that cursor and instead output something else.
Since the cursor has just been output by journalctl, I would expect it to be
valid.
In any case, a error or warning message would be appropriate, I think.
I'll try to debug this right away. If you are interested, I can upload
/var/log/journal.cursor-bug somewhere. It's about 23 MiB.</pre>
