-  loader_fd = fopen ( filename, "ra" ) ;
+  loader_fd = fopen ( filename, "r" ) ;


Wooaaahhhhhh.

That's not right!

The 'a' flag only means 'append' if it's the first character
in the mode string.  In the second position, it should be
ignored.  On some systems, an 'a' in the second position
means "ASCII" (as opposed to 'b' for binary).

I'm sceptical about this patch.
