Hrm.  Have you actually confirmed this problem with EINTR?  My
previous objections to not handling short read were based entirely on
not realizing that fread() wasn't supposed to do that, rather than
thinking of some edge case you hadn't.

Unless we have a confirmed case where fread() can give a short read
that won't have feof() or ferror() set afterwards, I'm inclined to go
back to your initial implementation.
