Had to look that one up.  I see  it is a microsoft private
interface only required because they chose to make 'long'
32-bits on amd64/x86_64 systems.

The return value is described as:

   "If successful, fseek and _fseeki64 returns 0. Otherwise,
    it returns a nonzero value. On devices incapable of seeking,
    the return value is undefined. If stream is a null pointer,
    or if origin is not one of allowed values described below,
    fseek and _fseeki64 invoke the invalid parameter handler, as
    described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to
    continue, these functions set errno to EINVAL and return -1."

So, if unsuccessful, it can return anything, and apparently does.
