Urgh! Thanks for catching this.

Perhaps yes, to stay in the 32 bit arena or, well...
*dig, dig , dig*
You're right. I've tested that on 98 and it fails if start+len
is > 0x100000000 and it works if start+len is == 0x100000000.
Weird. I've checked in a fix to fhandler_disk_file::lock().
I think I'm playing sufficiently safe by using the value
0xffffffff - offset.
Thanks,
