Leaving aside the 0.2 => 0 converstion, shouldn't read() raise an
exception if asked for < 1 bytes? Or is there a legitimate use for read(0)
with which I was not previously aware?

read([size])
... If the size argument is negative or omitted, read all data until EOF
is reached. ...
Hmm, yeah, but 0 is not negative and not omitted so this does not apply.
Well, -1 *is* < 1 (and is in the domain of the function), but yes --
sorry, read too quickly, took your "< 1" too literally.
