Subject: lseek does not work with big types

I have run into a problem calling lseek when big types are being used.

When I build the following code with -D__CYGWIN_USE_BIG_TYPES__,
'sz' is 0. It is correct otherwise.

I am using Cygwin 1.3.22; gcc version 3.2 20020927 (prerelease)

===========================================
#include<sys/types.h>
#include<fcntl.h>
#include<unistd.h>

main()
{
int fd;
off_t sz;

if ((fd = open("test.c", O_BINARY)) < 0)
    {
    printf("open failed\n");
    exit(1);
    }
else
    sz = lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END);    

#ifdef __CYGWIN_USE_BIG_TYPES__
    printf("sz = %llu\n", sz);
#else
    printf("sz = %u\n", sz);
#endif

}
