That shouldn't be necessary, but thanks for pointing out that your fix
assumes that.  I'm testing a fix that doesn't require the user to know
know whether a file is classic or 64-bit offset variant, but preserves
whatever variant the file had when opened.  It won't hurt to OR in the
NC_64BIT_OFFSET on open, but it won't be required.
