New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr>:
FileIO.seekable() can return False if we first seek to a position such
that, when truncated to a signed int, it becomes negative:
>>> f = open('largefile', 'wb', buffering=0)
>>> f.seek(2**31, 0)
2147483648
>>> f.write(b'x')
1
>>> f.close()
>>> f = open('largefile', 'rb', buffering=0)
>>> f.seek(0, 2)
2147483649
>>> f.seekable()
False
