While file.seek() and file.tell() are indeed fixed, I think MAL has a
fear that some modules don't like getting a long from tell().  I fixed
a bug of this kind in dumbdbm more than three years ago, when a long
wasn't acceptable as a multiplier in string repetition.  Since then,
longs aren't quite so poisonous as they once were, and I don't think
this fear is rational any more.
