But the 'skip' hasn't failed. It's merely being implemented via 'read'
rather than via 'lseek'. The records are being skipped correctly.
It might be useful to give dd a new option, which causes it
to insist on lseeking rather than reading in cases like these,
and to report an error if the lseek fails.
