[New-bugs-announce] [issue16273] f.tell() returning negative number on Windows build

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger:

On a fresh 64-bit install of Windows 2.7.3 running on Windows 7, f.tell() is producing unexpected (and unusable) results:

>>> f = open('sample.txt')
>>> f.read(3)
>>> f.read(3)
>>> f.tell()
