The problem is somewhere between 2004-02-11 22:00:00 UTC and 2004-02-11
23:30:00 UTC. That puts it in the BFD real_ftell/real_fseek changes.
I suspect that it's something like "ftello64" getting picked up by
the autoconf test which is looking in the library, but no prototype
is actually in scope, so the return value defaults to "int" and
some bits are getting lost.
Aha, look at this!
