du: read and process --files0-from= input a name at a time,
rather than by reading the entire input into memory and *then* processing each file name. * src/du.c: Include "argv-iter.h", not "readtokens0.h". (main): Rewrite to use argv-iter. Call xfts_open on each argument, rather than on the entire argv list at once. Call print_size here, not from du_files. Diagnose read failure. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * THANKS: update. Reported by Barry Kelly. More details in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/15159/
