Summary: r41552 broke test_file on OS X

Initial Comment:
Apparently you *can* seek on sys.stdin here.  If you just want seek() to fail 
sys.stdin.seek(-1) seems pretty likely to work...

Michael, I reverted the tell() portion.  Do all the tests
work for you now?  Can this be closed?

Sorry, I think I closed the report before I saw that there
was another problem.  From a man page, it looked like tell()
may fail if it is done on a pipe.  So maybe the problem
can't happen on OS X?  We could check if the system is
osx/darwin and skip the test.  Do you want to skip the test?
 Since it was for coverage and to ensure nothing bad goes
wrong with error handling, it's not awful that it can't be
provoked on osx.

I suspect you know this from what I said on IRC, but test_file still fails, because 
you can tell() on sys.stdin too (I don't really see what you can do about this)
