    if (read (SEG->fd, SEG->scb[cur].buf, SEG->size) != SEG->size)
    {
	G_warning ("segment_pagein: %s\n", strerror(errno));
	return -1;
    }

The warning occurs if read() returns a short count, i.e. if you try to
read beyond the end of the file, or an error.

The actual error message is bogus; read() only sets errno if it
returns a negative result, not if it returns a short count.
