                               ^^ const?

I suspect it doesn't matter in practice for this particular test, but
since this looks like a generally useful function that could gain users
in the future: does this spuriously fail if the matching line straddles
a 4096-byte boundary? Maybe fscanf(3) should be used instead?

I haven't looked at the test harness in detail but this should be
reliable if the program is a single thread - lgtm.
