They're in IO::File (well, IO::Seekable) and POSIX, both of which are use()d by
eximstats.

See my earlier comment (http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=715#c1) which
hasn't made it to the list yet, presumably because the address I'm subscribed
to exim-dev with is different from my bugzilla account.

It looks like this may well be a perl bug. In perl 5.10, IO::Seekable and POSIX
both define SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR and SEEK_END, apparently to avoid a different
problem when IO::File and POSIX were used together.

That issue is currently Debian bug #479957

The SEEK_* constants do not appear in eximstats so I think the bug is in your
Perl installation.
