The problem is the file src/view.c which under certain circumstances 
sets the number of available bytes to file->st.st_size, not to the 
number of bytes that have actually been read.

For mc-4.6.2 I am planning to completely redesign WView to be easy to 
read, modular, reusable, $buzzwords. 2700 lines in one single file are 
really too much. I will split it up into separate files which will then 
provide clean interfaces to components like an MCGrowingBuffer that can 
be used outside the viewer, too. I expect that the code will get much 
simpler after these changes. But I have not yet started to work on it.
