What are the exact versions you're using?  Each release should have a
version number such as 27bz-6, 27bz-7, or 27bz-8 (or 27cz-8 if you
bought the professional edition).

For the one where it returns -1, can you check the errno value based on
the possible values listed in 'man lseek' ?

For the one where you get different large negative numbers, what are you
using to give you the number?  If you're using printf, make sure you are
using %lld instead of %d.   %d assumes its a 4-byte int, %lld will treat
it as 8 bytes.
