warning: ignoring return value of 'fread', declared with attribute
warn_unused_result

This fix facilitates fread() either it succeeds, or an error occurs or
the end of file is reached.

I usually prefer the style:

if (fread(&olen, 1, sizeof olen, f) != sizeof olen)

... for consistency with plain write().  It's a minor nitpick, though.
