stat vs read: file sizes

I've been working on porting glimpse to GNU-Win32, and I've run into a
problem. glimpse uses a technique where stat is called to determine the
file size, S, and then read is called to read S bytes from the file. The
problem is that reading S bytes from the file returns a size T less than S.
This number appears to be off by the number of lines in the file (as
reported by NTEmacs). I'm guessing that there is some CR/LF mapping going
on behind the
scenes. Short of rewriting the glimpse code, is there a way/mode to handle
this?
Thanks,
Ted
