This approach has the problem that file-operations apart from pread
might (at least in theory) modify the position. To prevent that, we'd
either need to use the same locking-mechanism as the CRT use, or use
ReadFile with an OVERLAPPED struct, which allows us specify the offset
explicitly. The latter seems better to me, and should look something
like this (note: untested):
