+ * src/shred.c: Include assert.h.
+ (fillrand): Add a parameter, size_max.
+ Add an assertion.
+ Adjust caller.
+ (dopass): Break out of the `for (;;)' loop if size < offset.
+ That can happen now that dopass is called with SIZE == -1.
+ (do_wipefd): Accept a length of zero only for a regular file.
+ If lseek fails or returns 0 for a non-regular file, let dopass
+ determine the length.
+ Inspired by a patch from Alan Iwi.
