   A binary stream need not meaningfully support fseek calls with a   
   whence value of SEEK_END.   
      
   ...or text files.   
      
   7.19.9.2(4)   
      
   For a text stream, either offset shall be zero, or offset shall   
   be a value returned by an earlier successful call to the ftell   
   function on a stream associated with the same file and whence   
   shall be SEEK_SET.
