I'll update this patch with these checks. What boundary traversal are we trying to test at these high offsets? I mean, I can understand wanting to confirm they work, but there's no 32 bit variable boundary in the seek code at 8/16TB that needs to be specifically test is there? i.e. is it just testing the same case as the 8GB case?
