Um, this can't possibly be right.  Once we hit a byte boundary, we
will bomb out with ENOENT, and not proceed to the rest of the
function.  How much testing did you do before you submitted this patch
series?

I think we just need to delete the two lines, but we also need a good
regression test to make sure the implementation is really correct....
