Summary: Should V.3.1 "lseek()" return -1 for call with negative offset?

It seems that the V.3.1 "lseek()" does not return a negative value when
asserted with a negative offset.  There is some talk in the manual concerning
this behavior with remote file systems; however, this problem appears when
accessed local file descriptors too.

Is there something I'm missing?
