Actually, we're already carrying this logic to provide 64bit variants of all=
 of the other file manipulation functions we use. It's just that the patch t=
hat added positional I/O didn't contain necessary goo for 64bit compatibilit=
y.

So, what I was trying to say is that Ryan's patch is a great stopgap for 1.6=
.0, but we should try and fix the whole thing on master.
