Brilliant! Have you reported this bug?
Btw, your fix suggests that it's got more to do with the buffer the string
is stored in than read-io itself. It seems likely that Rebol allocates
strings with a length of 16 even bytes, even if the string actually is a
few bytes shorter (for easier memory management and cache efficiency
reasons). And when you read 16 bytes exactly, you need another byte to
terminate -> it doesn't fit. And unlike most operations, read-io doesn't
automatically expand the string.
