I think this is down to the fact that bin_read() is a complete mess
where people dump in new features without any attempt to impose
structure (fancy that happening in zsh...) so the obvious fix is as good
as any.

We can at least test this, although in general getting this sort of
thing right with read is (at least) a quadratic problem.
