One issue that I'm aware of is that ExgDBRead allocates all the records or
resources before reading their contents via the ReadProc. If the ReadProc is
destructively reading from a file stream, it will still require twice as
much room as it'll end up needing when it's done. This was reported by Neil
Rhodes. I'm not aware of any other open bugs in ExgDBRead.

1024 just happens to be the size of the buffer allocated by ExgDBRead. I
don't think this is a coincidence. :) I'll try to reproduce the bug and get
back to you. Can you send me (privately) the pdb you're using and the code,
preferably as a tiny demo app?

Good idea.
