Hmm. If I remember correctly, the linux_llseek() call is just a hack to add a wider-than-32-bit lseek(2) type call without touching anything already in the system. I may be confused, though. In any case, this doesn't really make sense, because it's really just a wrapper around a system call (at least, the normal lseek() is, and I can't imagine why any variant would be implemented much differently). The output may be some kind of artifact caused by the kernel dive, but I don't know why that would happen, either... maybe a -hacker would know.
