Comment (by olly):

 If compiled with {{{-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64}}}, the x86 Linux machine fails
 on the initial lseek() with {{{EINVAL}}}.  It seems the maximum value we
 can seek to is somewhere between 1<<40 and 1<<41, but at 1<<40 we can
 successfully call {{{write()}}}.

 GNU/kFreeBSD 9.0-2-amd64 (Debian combining freebsd kernel and GNU libc)
 works - {{{write()}}} fails with {{{EFBIG}}}.
