However, we check its return value for errors, and if anything but noErr occurs, the reader thread aborts its current iteration. That is bad, because it aborts before it can ever set the flag which tells that the file is over (also, any remaining data which FSRead did return is lost - so you'd not hear about to 4 seconds from the end of the file. Furthermore, the computed data size was 8 bytes to high (I forgot to account for the fact that the size of an (A)IFF chunk always contains the chunk header & size fields, too). This is enough to make it work. However, the end condition is rather fragile, so I tuned some other things to be pessimistic (check for <= 0 instead of == 0, when eofErr is encountered enforce mReadFilePosition == mFileLength). You never know... The attached patch fixes the issue for me.

This is the porting of 1.2.0 version of SDL (the latest stable one)
to AmigaOS/68k.

All the bugs known of the past version have been corrected. And I've
added all the new SDL features.

This version of SDL needs Cybergraphx V3 (r69+) or CyberGraphX V4
and AHI v3+. Probably it works also with P96 or CGXAga, but it's 
untested.

This version is available as linked library for SAS/C and GCC, only 68k this 
time, a powerup (ppcemu compatible) and a morphos version will be ready quite 
soon (i hope).

Implemented:

- 8/16/24/32bit video modes, both fullscreen and windowed.
- Hardware surfaces.
- CGX blitting acceleration.
- CGX colorkey blitting acceleration.
- AHI audio (8/16 bit, with any audio format), always uses unit 0 for now.
- Thread support (maybe not 100% compatible with other implementations)
- Semaphores 
- Window resizing and backdrop windows (NEW)
- Joystick/Joypad support.

To do:

- CDRom audio playing support
- OpenGL (A guy was working on it but I've lost his tracks :( )

The SAS/C library is distributed with debug info attached, to strip debug info 
simply add STRIPDEBUG argument to the linker.

NOTE: SDL includes debug output using kprintf, to disable it add to your 
project a function like this:

void kprintf(char *a,...)
{
}

Otherwise you can redirect the debug to a console window with sushi, sashimi or
similar tools (the default output is the internal serial port).
