[PLUG] this code crashes [OT]

[Fred K Ollinger <folling2@sas.upenn.edu>]

Sorry for the non-c coders. Don't want to bore you.

This code will crash:

bytes_read = fread(buffer, 1, MAX_BUF, source);
  /* second arg could be whatever you like; 1 == sizeof(char) in my world
*/
while(bytes_read) {
        fwrite(buffer, 1, bytes_read, dest);
}

I'm wondering why, I'm guessing that the 4th arg in bytes_read should be
pointer. I'm going to test that now.

I really appreciate all the help, espcially from Gabriel. This is going to
work, just a little more tweaking.
