Subjectfile offset corruption on 32-bit machines?
Jeff Robertson analyzes the behaviour of different operating systems' 
64-bit file offset implementation and concludes that on 32-bit
machines, Linux and Solaris lack any locking to keep the two 32-bit
halves in sync and this could cause rare file offset corruption.
