Something's odd here.  ftell returns long int, so the ftello
substitute needs to worry about overflow only on hosts where long int
is wider than off_t.  But I don't know of any such hosts and don't
expect that there will ever be any.  Surely on Tru64 both types are
64-bit.

Too late, Windows is one. I *so* want to kill someone for actually having the gall to create a P64 (as opposed to LP64) platform.

But Tru64 is not, sizeof(long int) == 8.

When on POSIX, do as POSIX mandates.
