> FileBufferCopyIn::seek() on a Windows system generally fails with an exception. This is because it is implemented as
> if (::SetFilePointer(...)  != INVALID_SET_FILE_POINTER) throw(...)
> This test is the opposite of what it should be! SetFilePointer returns the new pointer on success (sort of), just like lseek. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365541%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
> The fix is pretty simple - reverse the test. But apparently INVALID_SET_FILE_POINTER is also a valid file pointer (that's not confusing at all - thanks Microsoft!) so you also need to check the Windows error indicator to make absolutely sure. I'll attach a patch.
