I ported a large program that used fread/fwrite from gcc on the sun to
djgcc.  I ran into problems reading font files.  I traced the problem done
to the fread/fwrite not working correctly for sizes over 512 bytes.
I changed my fread/fwrites to do multiple 512 freads/fwrites.  Everything
worked fine then. 

I was using the first port of djgcc.  I don't have my PC here at the moment,
or I would double check this with djgcc 1.08.
