I was thinking of just a one-time test by hand.

I don't see any buf_read_file_eof(), although I do see
buf_read_file_to_eof().  It isn't a wrapper around buf_read_file(), it's
a similar function that just reads a block at a time until it reaches
the end, which is actually better since there's no guarantee that the
value returned by stat() is large enough (although it is on all
currently known platforms).
