In less.exe, when I use either the G or F commands on a largish CRLF file, it

How largish ?
On Cygwin 32 bit and W7-64 I see no problem with 224 Mbytes
Cannot seek to that file position (press RETURN)
in the bottom "command editing line" of the display.
No problem on LF-only files. Does happen with either mintty or
Windows-Console,
launched from either bash or cmd.exe.
Two files are attached: Karl2.cygcheck.out, which is the 'cygcheck -s -v -r'
output,
and LessBugMoreInfo.txt, which contains background info and some speculation.
