It might help if you add printing of size and value returned by read function,
and errno, see below. It would useful to know the exact file size
at this time, too.

Like,
n = (unsigned)vim_read(mfp->mf_fd, hp->bh_data, size);
if( n != size) {
char tmp[200];
sprintf(tmp, ""E295: Read error in swap file (%d,%d,%d)", size,n,errno);
return FAIL;
