The patch suggested for this bug is a little overboard; the original
code looks like it was trying to use the Linux system call interface
to get around the lack of 64-bit seek support in userland. Now that
this is available, a *much* easier way to fix this is simply convert
l64seek() to be a wrapper around lseek() and compile with appropriate
flags. I'm about to upload an NMU to fix this (and multiple of the
other bugs open in this package).

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that
 English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on
 occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them
 unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."  -- James D. Nicoll
