The committed fix breaks Mercurial.

The "underlying file-like object" in our case is a wsgirequest but anything 
else trying to serve a dynamically-generated zip file on the web will probably 
die. We wrapped wsgirequest to support tell() many years ago probably copying 
someone else's hack, and it's worked fine across Python 2.4-2.7, but we 
fundamentally can't support all the new seek()s that were added here.
