Not quite.    Remember that it returns a string the size of the file, but 
that its contents are buggy ?

Again, not quite.  Its the copying which is done after reallocating for a 
bigger blob which is the culprit.   Yes, I disassembled the involved code. 
:-)

And just print out all the bytes in the string one-by-one and take a look at 
the ones beyond the last whole multiple of ... 260 IIRC.   Compare with the 
last part of the file.  You will see that they match.   In other words, it 
does read the whole thing.

/That/ I do agree with you. :-)
