Details

In the Win95 version of _PR_MD_LSEEK64 (w95io.c), we only check the return value of SetFilePointer to see if it fails. That's not sufficient for a large file. When the third argument (lpDistanceToMoveHigh) for SetFilePointer is not NULL, if SetFilePointer returns 0xFFFFFFFF, we also need to call GetLastError to find out if SetFilePointer really fails. The NT version of _PR_MD_LSEEK64 (ntio.c) does this correctly.

Fixed. I also rewrote the code for converting between the 64-bit offset and its two 32-bit components, following the example in MSDN documentation of SetFilePointer (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/sdkdoc/winbase/filesio_8iwi.htm). /cvsroot/mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/md/windows/w95io.c, revision 3.8.
