MSDN says "The pos value is stored in an internal format and is intended 
for use only by *fgetpos* and *fsetpos*."

I don't think it's a good idea to use it this way even if tests 
suggested it works.

I'll write a test program tomorrow to try the fflush+_lseeki64 approach.

Another solution - although a bit ugly - might be to disable buffering 
on Windows using setvbuf.
