    Log Message:
    Don't attempt to print an emtpy filename, just return false

    Doing so would result in trying to open the ctrl_dir as a file which would either fail (possibly after several retries, delays) or just display nothing (e.g. if the ctrl dir was symlink)

    Don't limit line-read-length to the console width when P_TRUNCATE mode is used

    Ctrl-A (and other attribute) codes don't print, but do count as chars in a line, so this is basically a work-around for using P_SEEK with color-encoded files. Just know that lines longer than the terminal is wide are going to be chopped (that's what the P_TRUNCATE mode flag does). This is not really expected to be functional for ANSI files.

    Log Message:
    Use fread() instead of read() to printfile (in P_OPENCLOSE mode)

    After reading a file's SAUCE record and seeking around (with fseek), a read() (on the file *descriptor*, not the stream) will fail, but only on *nix.
    Use fread() instead of read() to fix this.

    This fixes issue #1060, bug recently introduced in commit 29213fde9f24d62b7e20 (reading/using SAUCE records in display files). Thanks Keyop! I had a few of these errors recently logged as well but chalked it up to something
    ephemeral and not reproducible. It was 100% reproducible.
