What, exactly, does "don't (seems) to work" mean?  Do they simply return
less than the requested length?  Do they return -1 without reading or
writing anything?  Or do they do something really perverse?  52kB is an
interesting number since it's close to 64k, but not that close.  It
isn't a 16-bit environment, is it?
