I see why now:

       fread  and  fwrite return the number of items successfully
       read or written (i.e., not the number of characters).   If
       an error occurs, or the end-of-file is reached, the return
       value is a short item count (or zero).

In wiretap we fread an item size of 1 byte, with  "nmemb" (the number of
members)
set to the number of bytes.

  Modified files:
    wiretap              csids.c
  Log:
  Re-arrange size and nmemb arguments in fread() (file_read()) calls so
  that these calls work on Win32. I still don't have a good reason as to
  why this is necessary, but it fixes the problem. I'll continue looking
  for a reason.
