I'm not getting any errors.  The problem is that the whole file isn't being
read.  It reads some and outputs what it reads, but it's far from reading
everything.  I have a 30MB file and it's only reading a handful of bytes and
then stops (no errors).  I want it to read the whole file, not part of it.
This is a binary file that I'm attempting to read, not text, so would that
cause any problems?
