Update of /projects/cvsroot/python/dist/src/Objects
In directory monty:/usr/people/guido/python/src/Objects

Modified Files:
	fileobject.c 
Log Message:
Speed up read() (i.e. read till EOF) considerably by doing a stat() to
see if we can guess the #bytes until the end of the file.  If we
can't, increment the buffer size increments up to 0.5Meg to avoid
realloc'ing too much.
