Is it also worth attempting to test a (necessarily sparse!) file
larger than 2GiB to prove that we are 64-bit clean, even on a 32-bit
system where lseek is different than lseek64?  (I honestly have no
idea if python always uses 64-bit seek even on 32-bit systems,
although I would be surprised if it were not)
