@scher200 do you mean, you have this issue as well? Which system is it this happens on? I wasn't able to reproduce this behavior on any of my systems, so far ...

[scher200]

@aurora yes, I have this issue as well,
Ubuntu 14.04 (mint 17 xfce)

I viewed the code but was amazed it is so short. Could it have something to do with: the # character?
Bot of my half empty files contain this character multiple times.

Not sure it's to do with the '#' character as I'm able to open my my.cnf which is full of them as they're used as comments. Possibly a different issue

I just fixed issue #65, wrong detection of filesize. I wonder if this could be the same issue as what is reported in here. So if anybody of you is still following this, i would be really happy if you could download rmate from master branch and try it again. Thanks!

I am closing this, because there's no feedback and i cannot reproduce the issue.
