Jim Warner 526bc5dfa9 library: avoid SEGV if file2str should read zero bytes
When utility buffers were introduced for file2str read
requests, a subtle change was inadvertently introduced
such that a read of zero no longer returns a -1 value.

This commit ensures that zero bytes read returns a -1.

And although the solution differs from a merge request
submitted by sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com, a thank you
is offered for revealing this potential abend problem.
