THe C function returns an int, which wraps around to negative values for files
>2GB, and the result of File.tell() is some absurd number that you get when you
cast this value to a ulong, I think.

Note that std.stream gets this right on Win32 but not Linux by using the Win32 API directly.

Casting won't help much, we need the long.
