Wait - lseek returns a number less than -1?! We could easily check for that FreeBSD bug, perhaps as an independent patch; this shouldn't require any extra syscalls.

I installed the attached patch to do this. This doesn't fix coreutils bug#51433; it merely makes 'cp' and similar programs more likely to detect and report the FreeBSD 9.1 bug you mentioned.
