 This is interesting. If you change RECSIZE to a value that is not 8192, 
 it works fine. Probably an off-by-one somewhere in the code, because as 
 it turns out, the first record is exactly RECSIZE (8192) bytes, which 
 probably eats a terminator somewhere. I'll take a deeper look into this 
 shortly and send a patch soon.
