Thanks to Dave Yeo, I've been able to check this out.  The "L" functions 
take the same sffsi structure, except that it has two 64-bit fields 
tacked on to the end: sfi_sizel and sfi_positionl.  Obviously, by their 
names, these replace the 32-bit sfi_size and sfi_position fields earlier 
in the structure.  Quite how the kernel tells which set of fields, the 
32-bit ones or the 64-bit ones, an IFS driver is maintaining is 
unclear.  I see no sign of JFS setting a flag to tell the kernel which 
fields it is maintaining, and it maintains the 64-bit fields, and *only* 
the 64-bit fields, even in the non-"L" entrypoints.  (The non-"L" 
entrypoints simply call the "L" ones.  Perhaps this is a JFS bug.  Have 
there been reports of the 2003 JFS.IFS not working on OS/2 prior to 
version 4.5?  The 4.0 and earlier kernels will be expecting the 32-bit 
fields to be maintained.  They probably won't even be allocating the 
extra space for the 64-bit ones.)
