This is strange.

Can you strace (or whatever) the code and tell me what lseek()
returns?  Is it really EINVAL like the error message suggests?
If so, this would be strange, because

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man2/lseek.2.html

tells me (as a return value)

      [EINVAL]           Whence is not a proper value.

      [ESPIPE]           Fildes is associated with a pipe, socket, or FIFO.

which indicates a bug in the library, but maybe I am looking
at the wrong manpage here.
