LSEEK and large files in Scyld

[Peter Lindgren]

The code:
    off_t	off_t_ret;
    off_t	byte_offset;
    ......
    off_t_ret = lseek(input_file, byte_offset, 0);
    printf("lseek returned (off_t as lld)= %lld on seek to %lld\n", off_t_ret, byte_offset);
    if ( off_t_ret < 0 ) {
        break;
        }
(I have _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 defined)

On the system with:
Scyld Beowulf release 27bz-7

Doesn't seem to work in either case; just reports failure differently.
