type seek: Value too large for defined data type


Offending syscall is an lseek(fd, -1, SEEK_CUR) on /dev/mem file



open("/dev/mem", O_RDONLY)              = 3
...
lseek(3, 1023092, SEEK_SET)             = 1023092
read(3, "PCMP\4\3\4\266HP      PROLIANT    \0\0\0\0\0"..., 44) = 44
read(3, "\0"..., 1)                     = 1
lseek(3, -1, SEEK_CUR)                  = -1 EOVERFLOW (Value too large
for defined data type)

It seems -1 is taken as an unsigned quantity ?
