If true, that'd be pretty bizarre; "tell()" came with V7, and comes with
4.3BSD and S5R3....

It's almost exactly the same code (modulo formatting and the use of SEEK_CUR
rather than 1) that's in the "tell()" in 4.3BSD and S5.  The only
difference is that they use 0L rather than 0 as the second argument.
