Comment:

 Okay, I think I covered all the changes above with a new branch:
 https://github.com/meejah/tor/tree/6044_read_whole_file_squashed_2

 I haven't tried this on anything except linux still. I added some more
 tests and fixed all the above points (I think). The reading loop re-
 alloc's every kilobyte which is probably still overkill, but balance that
 with wasting memory (and the fact the main use-case is private_keys, which
 will now be read in one loop).

 (process question: should I assign a ticket I'm working on like this to
 myself?)
