I don't think it is a compiler or library bug.  When the end of file is
reached the "eof" bit is set.  However, since the buffer was not filled to
the requested size, the "fail" bit is also set.  Both of these should be
cleared before using "tellg()".

Try using these lines to clear the bits before calling tellg().  This
should be a replacement for Bill's fix.

self->GetFile()->clear(self->GetFile()->rdstate() & 
                       ~ios::eofbit);

self->GetFile()->clear(self->GetFile()->rdstate() & 
                       ~ios::failbit);
