One of the infelicities of iteratee-0.3 is that it defines a data type:

> data ErrMsg = Err String
>               | Seek FileOffset
>               deriving (Show, Eq)

I believe this is what the OP is referring to.  Oleg originally
implemented seek using IORefs; I wanted to try this and didn't know if
it would work so I used a minimal implementation.  I've decided this
is the correct approach, but the details need to be tweaked a bit.

Cheers,
