one small comment, based on a totally superficial scan of that diff:
might it not be better to grow the buffer by some multiplicative
factor, to avoid linear behaviour when reading large files?
i often (for no particularly good reason) use 50% as a growth
factor - it doesn't seem as radical as *2, but will still work ok
in the long run.

i've probably misread the code though...
