Description:
------------
This is such a minor "bug" which can easily be fixed with one minor change.

The bzip stream for example, does not support seeking, however this is an 
"emulation" in main/streams/streams.c that allows the SEEK_CUR to work with 
positive values by just continue to read for the seek duration.

The bug is if you use SEEK_CUR with a value of zero, a warning pops up saying 
seek is not supported. I know using a value of zero is perhaps wrong, but by 
changing line 1150 of main/streams/streams.c from:

if (whence == SEEK_CUR && offset > 0) {
to:
if (whence == SEEK_CUR && offset >= 0) {

then this warning does not appear, and everything works as expected.

I have not tested this change, but it looks innocent enough. Until then I'm 
writing my PHP code with a if ($offset > 0) fseek($fp, $offset, SEEK_CUR);

thanks.
