Thanks. I won't then reject the patch outright, only revert it from 2.5.
I can't give this a second try, as 2.5.3 was already supposed to be the
last release - I don't want to find myself reverting your patch two
weeks from now.

Is the approach that you add a clearerr call is added for each read
operation?
