This doesn't explain anything to me, nor show why the calculation
changes in this patch are being made at all.

These "0 --> SEEK_SET" changes are firstly not metioned at all in
your commit message, and are a completely seperate change from
fixing the offsets and lengths.
Same goes for the comment spelling fix. It's entirely unrelated
to this bug fix and needs to be in a separate patch.
This is an extremely low quality patch submission, sorry.
