That fixed it! -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 is the pre-processor define
needed. It's a bit more than unintuitive but I'm glad I don't need
this stupid patch anymore, Thanks.

In case anyone is further interested I have attached test program
since I spent the last hour or so chopping it up anyway :S   [ gcc -o
kms -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 main.c ]
