Thanks, that let me reproduce the problem. I installed the attached, which fixed things for me. Hope it works for you too.
Isn't it a kernel bug that lseek to TYPE_MAXIMUM (off_t) fails with errno == EINVAL? EINVAL means the resulting file offset would be negative, and TYPE_MAXIMUM (off_t) is not negative.
