Hi Tom,

thanks for pointing this out - I missed it.  So a short raw read
should return wrongFormat.  I'll fix this accordingly, currently
rawread will perform multiple low level reads to satisfy one RawRead.

But it seems that if the low level read returns -1 then RawRead should
set wrongFormat and set the actual number of LOCs read,

regards,
Gaius
