Erm... yes whoops! Aren't examples and documentation a wonderful
thing;-)
I'd actually looked at the source later and found that the behavior
when no count was given was to read the whole file.
"What Count?", I thought... "aaah that explains it"
Would it be worth mentioning in the documentation that the default
behavior of leaving off the count is to read the whole file. Just
for the next idiot like me that comes along.
I could always try and pretend I was trying to seed the PRNG with
infinite entropy:-)
Thanks for the hint,
