In getfileinfo() in search.c, it does:
	while ((c = fgetc (fp)) != 0);
which should really be:
	while ((c = fgetc (fp)) != 0 && c != EOF);

It probably shouldn't ever hit the EOF, but you never know. The same
thing is true of the for() loop this is enclosed in, and you probably
want to change the "if (c == 0)" below the for loop to be "if (c == 0 ||
c == EOF)".

This should at least prevent it from getting stuck in a loop. I can't
guarantee that something else odd won't happen. (I haven't traced back
up to see what the callers of getfileinfo() do with any results.)
