odd. I can't reproduce the problem. The error is coming from a failed 
attempt to "seek". Are you sure those are the reproduction steps?

hmm. I'll try to find a Win98 box. I was also using dmd.123 but I'm not 
aware of any bug fixes that should have changed the stream behavior between 
dmd.122 and dmd.123. Maybe the directory and/or file read/write privledges 
are different from my first test. It would be useful to know if someone else 
reading the newsgroup can reproduce it, too.

The solution is to change the following line of std.stream.d:
long diff = bufferCurPos-bufferSourcePos;
to:
long diff = cast(long) bufferCurPos - bufferSourcePos;
