Amen!  The crazies are starting to emerge from the woodwork.  Lets move
this to some other forum.

Nope.  I had exactly the same failure as you reported.  It is failing when
a humungous number gets passed to lseek.  This is on an 80 MB disk, with the
first 32K devoted to DOS (that word again!  Hey, I like it, and I outdate most
of you guys, having cut my teeth on a Digital Group System with a Phi-Deck for
mass storage.  Ever heard of it?  I thought not!)  At any rate, I'm gonna let
it ride until Andy gets 1.4b out, then will figure it out....

Peace
