I changed that.  So now I'm trying to get the data in a dynamic array:

$ indent -i3 hist7.c
$ cc -Wall -Wextra hist7.c -o hist
$ ./hist
file_length is 19573712
a[245] is 50064
a[246] is 38224
a[247] is 58741
a[248] is 92306
a[249] is 58773
a[250] is 65617
a[251] is 41401
a[252] is 97099
a[253] is 75547
a[254] is 113450
a[255] is 128194
counter2 reached 819416
counter reached 19573713
execution makes it this far
b[245] is 50064
b[246] is 38224
b[247] is 58741
b[248] is 92306
b[249] is 58773
b[250] is 65617
b[251] is 41401
b[252] is 97099
b[253] is 75547
b[254] is 113450
b[255] is 128194
counter3 reached 819416
$ cat hist7.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define SIZE 20000000
#define SIZE2 (UCHAR_MAX+1)

int
main (void)
{
    int c;
    long counter = 0;
    long counter2 = 0;
    long counter3 = 0;
    long a[SIZE2], b[SIZE2];
    long i, j, end;
    FILE *fp;
    char filename[] = "shoulder.wmv";
    unsigned char *p;

    fp = fopen (filename, "rb+");
    fseek (fp, 0L, SEEK_END);
    end = ftell (fp);
    fseek (fp, 0L, SEEK_SET);
    printf ("file_length is %ld\n", end);
    p = malloc (end);

    for (i = 0; i < (SIZE2); ++i)
      {
	a[i] = 0;
      }
    for (j = 0; j < SIZE; ++j)
      {
	c = fgetc (fp);
	counter++;
	if (c != EOF)
	  {
	     p[j] = c;
	     ++a[c];
	  }
	else
	   break;
      }
    for (i = 245; i < (SIZE2); ++i)
      {
	printf ("a[%ld] is %ld\n", i, a[i]);
	counter2 = counter2 + a[i];
      }
    printf ("counter2 reached %ld\n", counter2);
    printf ("counter reached %ld\n", counter);
    for (i = 0; i < SIZE2; ++i)
      {
	b[i] = 0;
      }
    printf ("execution makes it this far\n");
    for (j = 0; j < end; ++j)
      {
	c = p[j];
	++b[c];
      }

    for (i = 245; i < (SIZE2); ++i)
      {
	printf ("b[%ld] is %ld\n", i, b[i]);
	counter3 = counter3 + b[i];
      }
    printf ("counter3 reached %ld\n", counter3);
    fclose (fp);
    return 0;
}

// cc -Wall -Wextra hist7.c -o hist
$

Does the malloc'ing look good for reading this file?  Also, what do 
POSIX and C say about the EOF character itself?  If my data are typical, 
I would say that neither thinks that EOF is part of the file.

(Because it's pentecost)  Yabba-daba-doo!
