less.exe v481-1 cannot seek to EOF in CRLF file; current cygwin32, Win10 only.

In less.exe, when I use either the G or F commands on a largish CRLF file, it
responds:

   Cannot seek to that file position  (press RETURN)

in the bottom "command editing line" of the display.

No problem on LF-only files.  Does happen with either mintty or
Windows-Console,
launched from either bash or cmd.exe.

Two files are attached: Karl2.cygcheck.out, which is the 'cygcheck -s -v -r'
output,
and LessBugMoreInfo.txt, which contains background info and some speculation.
