If the file is growing, though, it's OK to allocate more space after discovering that the initial allocation was too small.

It strikes me that regular files can go as you read them, too,
and that Emacs is not doing this properly. That is, Emacs should
be fixed so that it continues to read from a growing regular file
until a proper EOF is reached (i.e., until read returns 0).
I think there was a reason for doing it this way. Perhaps so as to
allocate the space before reading the file.

Andreas said in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-10/msg00782.html that it's due to this code in `insert-file-contents': /* The file size returned from stat may be zero, but data may be readable nonetheless, for example when this is a file in the /proc filesystem. */ if (end_offset == 0) end_offset = READ_BUF_SIZE; How this could be fixed?
