[h-e-w] File size anomoly

[Ata, John]

Hi,

When emacs reads a file into a buffer, it apparently uses what it thinks is the file size and only reads that many characters into it's input buffer.  If the file size changed or is inaccurate at the time of the read, a truncated buffer might result.  I have a situation where the file exists in a remote location and might actually be a different size remotely than locally (due to end-of-line transliterations).  This causes problems as you might imagine.  Anyone have any ideas how to get emacs to just read the file?

Thanks,
