That was never suggested as a fix, but to show that the problem occurs
with files much less than 256kiB size when forcing the code path through
stdio (which is what the "0" setting does).  The RCS test suite passes
on Cygwin since it never actively tests this code path.

Which will fail once you happen upon a diff that gets that large.
