read at least 1 byte from the input file without problems. This
fixes a bug in uncompress(1) that causes the accidental removal
of files that happen to have the same name as the output file,
even when the uncompression fails and is aborted, i.e.:
$ echo hello world > hello
$ touch hello.Z
$ ls -l hello*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 giorgos giorgos 12 Jun 14 13:33 hello
-rw-rw-r-- 1 giorgos giorgos 0 Jun 14 13:33 hello.Z
$ ./uncompress -f hello
uncompress: hello.Z: Inappropriate file type or format
$ ls -l hello*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 giorgos giorgos 0 Jun 14 13:33 hello.Z
