Could you put some debug printf statements in your code so that we can see the values of lsize and buffer.
I thought malloc because if buffer is not allocated you cannot store anything there yet if (buffer == NULL) is never executed.
That is somewhat weird but I will try to reproduce it on my system running AIX ver 5.3

NAME
explain_ftell_or_die - get stream position and report errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/ftell.h>
long explain_ftell_or_die(FILE *fp);
long explain_ftell_on_error(FILE *fp);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_ftell_or_die function is used to call the ftell(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
from the explain_ftell(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
The explain_ftell_on_error function is used to call the ftell(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
from the explain_ftell(3) function, but still returns to the caller.
fp The fp, exactly as to be passed to the ftell(3) system call.
RETURN VALUE
The explain_ftell_or_die function only returns on success, see ftell(3) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits,
it does not return.
The explain_ftell_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped ftell(3) system call.
EXAMPLE
The explain_ftell_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
long result = explain_ftell_or_die(fp);
