ATK scroll bars cannot handle a range larger than 0-8,044,543.  Given a
largerrange, the scroll bar when dragged down will jump back to the
top(try ez with a 10MB file).  Evidently there is an error in
thecalculations of scroll.c that return a 0 with large numbers.  Since
thebeginning and end range values are defined as longs, the usable range
shouldbe much greater.  I myself need a range from 0 to ~169,000,000
(wellwithin the range of an int) for my application to use the scroll
bar.  Canthis please be fixed?
