So, after more extensive testing (after prodding from John F. Woods),
it turns out that since 64 bits of return value from __syscall() are
used, it does in fact need to be declared as returning quad_t (or
another 64-bit type).  This has been fixed, and you should never even
see the broken version.  8-)

As before, if you notice any new problems with lseek(), truncate(),
ftruncate(), or mmap() (the 4 syscalls that use __syscall()), please
get in touch with me ASAP.


Really, i think syscall() should have its return type changed to
quad_t, as well, since it returns data in exactly the same way...
However, it's not _necessary_, since none of the syscalls that would
be invoked via syscall() return a 64-bit argument, anyway.
