I have seen a situation where Seb's test passes, but
python was not really working with large files.
AFAICT the cause was that I did not do "make clean" before
recompiling python with large file support.

Instead, do this:

cd $WHERE_YOU_PUT_PYTHON_SOURCE/Lib/tests
python test_largefile.py

That's much more thorough and informative.
