Bug, or (more likely) I'm doing something wrong?

seek seems to always throw:

std.conv.ConvOverflowError: Error: overflow Conversion underflow

Thanks, Jason

    f.seek(0L, SEEK_END); // fails
    f.seek(2L); // fails

    writeln("posn = ", f.tell());
}

// Mac OS X, dmd v2.031 and 2.032

// both seeks give:

// seek from Phobos, stdio.d

//                 "Attempting to seek() in an unopened file");
//         //     Dubious: why is fseek in std.c.stdio taking an int???
//         errnoEnforce(core.stdc.stdio.fseek(
//                     p.handle, to!int(offset), origin) == 0,
//                 "Could not seek in file `"~p.name~"'");

That's probably the same thing as this bug I reported a few days ago:
<http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3298>

The bug is about std.file.read, but the resolution is in fstat64 on 
which half os std.file depends.
