2006-06-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> * read-file.c (fread_file): Start with buffer allocation of 0 bytes rather than 1 byte; this simplifies the code. Don't invoke feof; it's not needed. Refactor to avoid duplicate code to free buffer and save/restore errno. (internal_read_file): Remove unused local.
