The problem is that sf.net doesn't provide the size of the file you
requested. Thus, $info->{size} is undefined. In cases like that you
have to take another approach: read a certain amount of bytes per
iteration, append everything you get to the buffer and stop when you get
the end-of-file error. The attached patch does that. (The patch also
does s/\$@/\$result/g -- Gnome2::VFS doesn't croak on error.)
All that said, Gnome2::VFS should probably not segfault -- I'll look
into it.
