The "read_or_die()" function would silently NOT die for a partial read,
and since it was of type "void" it obviously couldn't even return the
partial number of bytes read.
IOW, it was totally broken. This hopefully fixes it up.

I'm really quite fed up with the "cleanups" that were just too buggy for
words.
