^^^^^^^^

write(1, "Reading the file...Error reading"..., 41) = 41
_exit(1) = ?

----

For whatever reason, read() returns a zero length on the first call.
Yet the file does exist. This suggests that something in the VFS or
smbfs layer is in a race with the call and has not updated its notion
of the file's state. FWIW, Bonnie behaves the same way; failing on the
first read attempt.

I'd _really_ like to see this one nailed down, so let me know what
other trickery might be required to narrow down the fault?
