    char *read_infile(fname).

    <    p = (char *) malloc((unsigned)argus_strbuf.st_size);
    <    if (read(fd, p, (int)argus_strbuf.st_size) != argus_strbuf.st_size)
    ---
    >    p = (char *) calloc(1, (unsigned)argus_strbuf.st_size + 1);
    >    if (read(fd, p, (int)argus_strbuf.st_size) !=
(argus_strbuf.st_size))
