Phobos is unable to seek/position positions that are > int.max

---
import std.stdio;
import std.string;
import std.stream;

int main(string[] args){
    auto file = new BufferedFile(args[1]);
    file.seek(cast(ulong)int.max + cast(ulong) atoi(args[2]), SeekPos.Set);
    writefln("%d", file.position);
    return 1;
}
---

Problem also happens with trying to use MMFile with files larger than int.max.

Probably related to bug 3409.

This strikes me as a mistake in the Phobos declaration of seek(). The
underlying stdio fseek() function can only take longs as offsets, and Phobos'
seek() is defined the same way; however, a 'long' in C almost always
corresponds to an 'int' in D.

It's definitely a bug one way or the other, but to work around it you may want to use offsets from SEEK_CUR instead of SEEK_SET.
