Summary: SetFilePointer returns incorrect value for 2-4gb

Initial Comment:
The return value for win32file.SetFilePointer is negative 
for expected values from 2gb upto 1 byte shy of 4gb.


newFP = win32file.SetFilePointer(fh, offset, 
win32file.FILE_END)


Setting file pointer on a empty file with:
offset 2gb returns -2147483648
offset 3gb returns -1073741824
offset 4gb-1 byte returns -1


Under 2gb and 4gb and over return the correct value
