fixes problems in file stream -- doesn't touch cat stream (612 bytes, patch)

Description Charles Kerr 2007-05-20 04:44:42 UTC 
GMimeFileStream's seek uses SEEK_END for a value calculated for SEEK_SET.
This is causing problems right now in Pan.

GMimeFileStream's reset calls fseek to reset, but doesn't update
the stream's position variable.

As an aside, GMimeStreamCat likewise doesn't update its position
variable in its reset function, but I'm not positive that it's a
bug there and just wanted to bring it to your attention.

I recently changed reset semantics such that returning 0 from the implementation will set the stream->position = stream->bound_start in gmime-stream.c

however, good catch on the SEEK_END bit, that is definitely broken :)
