Hi Matthias, the fix makes sense, this is very clearly a bug.
I'd suggest a simpler fix though: end -= 4; // make sure there are 4 bytes to read at start - while (start < end) { + while (start <= end) { Note that the code has a diffent bug too, very unlikely but not impossible to hit: 321 ssize_t count = read(fd, buf, CHUNK_SIZE); 322 if (count >= MIN_SIZE) { We attempt to read CHUNK_SIZE bytes and require the read to have returned at least MIN_SIZE (something like 30ish bytes). If not, jexec fails. read may have been interrupted (EINTR) or may have returned less bytes than MIN_SIZE, so it should read in a loop til eof or CHUNK_SIZE bytes are read.
