Sure, but I don't like using column 79, unless it's better to. We're on
three lines anyway; may as well make better use of that third line.

I _think_ we restrict the maximum file size to 2^63 - 1 to avoid i_size
ever being negative. But that means that end_pos might be 2^63 (ie
LONG_MIN), so we need to subtract one from it to get the right answer.
