I did some testing on this.  Solaris seems to treat files as a large
circular buffer of size 2^64 with respect to seeks in the /proc file system
address space file. No error results with seeks of greater than 2^63 with
any of SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.  This is not true of a regular file
where I get errno=22 when seeking to an offset greater than or equal to
2^63.

So even on solaris the behavior seems to be filesystem dependent.
