* Failure to check for malloc failure (ok, pretty unlikely here, but
that's not an excuse).
* Leakage of open fd on read error, and of malloc'd buffer always.
* Incorrect assumption that a short read would set errno to zero.
* Failure to adhere to message style conventions (in particular,
not reporting errno where relevant; using "couldn't open" rather than
"could not open" is not really in line with project style either).
* Missing newlines on some messages.
Coverity spotted the leak problems; I noticed the rest while
fixing the leaks.
