I am able to reproduce this on a Fedora Core 3 Linux system:

>>> fp = open('/dev/zero', 'rb')
>>> d = fp.read()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
MemoryError
>>> print os.stat('/dev/zero').st_size
0

What about only trusting st_size if the file is a regular
file, not a directory or other type of special file?
