Unfortunately, I don't understand the codepath for reading
binary files well enough to back out of these failures cleanly.
At the time the message is printed, we are several routines
deep in the binary file code.  I think you would have to
add error return codes to each layer of routines, and
error-handling code at all the call sites.

Maybe Daniel would be willing to take a look at it
after I sort out the normal [ascii] input file case.
It was his code originally, I think.
