Maybe this is a long vs. off_t problem.  off_t is a quad, and if you
pass a long, you will have a problem.  This points to a type problem
in the code you are compiling... are they passing aroung file offsets
as longs instead of off_t's?

If there is an on disk structure containing longs, you will have to
coeerce them to off_t to pass them to the system calls.

off_t's are 64 bits in BSD, and longs are 32 bits.
