More on this, when doing:

let read_file_bin name =
  let ic = open_in_bin name in
  let b = Buffer.create 1024 in
  (try Buffer.add_channel b ic (n + 100) with _ -> ());
  close_in ic;
  print_int (Buffer.length b); print_newline ();
  Array.init (Buffer.length b) (fun i -> int_of_char (Buffer.nth b i))

With file length equal to n (65536) I get nothing read, i.e. after
reading Buffer.length b returns 0. Can anyone check this, so I know
whether this is OCaml or my OpenBSD 4.6 port of it issue?
