I have a slight problem with libc.a's read() function. When I execute
the following code:

---
#include <all header files required>

main()
{
  int File = open(Filename, O_RDONLY);
  char Buffer[20] = read(File, Buffer, 19);
  puts(Buffer);
  close(File);
  return 0;
}
--  // compiled with 'gcc file.cpp'

It does everything right, but the output is like this:
--
DJGPP is the bestt
--
For some reason there is an extra 't' in the example. When I read a
lot of characters (say 80 or so), there are 3 extra characters!! What
am I doing wrong here??

Thx   Gorman
