THe C function returns an int, which wraps around to negative values for files >2GB, and the result of File.tell() is some absurd number that you get when you cast this value to a ulong, I think.

Note that std.stream gets this right on Win32 but not Linux by using the Win32 API directly.

Putting this up for grabs as I don't have Windows.
