Thanks.  However, the code you wrote is a bit unclean: it assumes that
fpos_t is an integral scalar data type:

> +   int ret;
> + 
>     if (stream && pos)
>     {
> !     ret = (fpos_t)ftell(stream);
> !     if (ret != -1)

Please modify it so that this knowledge is limited to the single line
which was already in the old version.  For example:

  long ret;

  if (stream && pos)
  {
    ret = ftell(stream);
    if (ret != -1L)
    {
      *pos = (fpos_t)ret;
      return 0;
      ...

With this (or similar) change, it's okay to commit.
