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.)

That makes sense, since it's not a static page. Thanks for the error fix
as well, I probably would have caught that had it not been 2am :)

All that said, Gnome2::VFS should probably not segfault -- I'll look
into it.

In case you need to know, I have Debian version 2.4.1-4.1 of
libgnomevfs2, and 0.93-1 of Gnome2 (the perl library). If you need
anything else from me, just ask.
