Subject: bug#9800: Incomplete truncated file buffers from the /proc filesystem
Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2011 17:50:14 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1RISPO-0007Eu-TE@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4EA4D31B.4050604@cs.ucla.edu> (message from Paul Eggert on Sun,  23 Oct 2011 19:53:15 -0700)

    It strikes me that regular files can go as you read them, too,
    and that Emacs is not doing this properly.  That is, Emacs should
    be fixed so that it continues to read from a growing regular file
    until a proper EOF is reached (i.e., until read returns 0).

I think there was a reason for doing it this way.  Perhaps so as to
allocate the space before reading the file.
