You remind me that I forgot to propose changes to 27.8. The obvious change is to
basic_filebuf::seekoff; instead of calling fseek it should call fseeko.

Another possible change might be to the specification of the effect of the
openmode ios_base::ate (27.8.1.3/3), though I'm not sure any change is
necessary.
