svn commit: r322893 - head/bin/dd

[Conrad Meyer]

Well, not negative, just large uint64_t numbers that would be negative
as off_t (int64_t).

E.g., dd if=/dev/kmem bs=1 iseek=0xfffff...foo count=8.  I think we
would like that to work.  I don't recall whether it does or not before
this change.

Best,
Conrad
