Notepad++ Readfile Bug

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use Notepad++ to open a virtualized file (f.e. a simple textfile
virtualized with Mirror.exe)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the text file. Instead notepad++ hangs. Debugging points
out that notepad++ is using ReadFile-method to request the file again and
again and again. This behavior doesn't appear on real filesystems.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 7 prof 64bit

Please provide any additional information below:
GREAT PROJECT!!!

I see this same problem with another program (Far Manager's file Viewer) on 
Windows XP. I am trying to view a file of 3 characters (3 bytes).
I am using dokan library 0.52.
The problem happens with mirror.exe and with a union filesystem that I wrote 
based on dokan.
The ReadFile sequence that keeps repeating is:
Read 512 bytes at 0 -> return 3 bytes OK
Read 512 bytes at 3 -> return 0 bytes OK
Read 512 bytes at 0 -> return 3 bytes OK
Read 512 bytes at 3 -> return 0 bytes OK
Read 512 bytes at 0 -> return 3 bytes OK
Read 512 bytes at 3 -> return 0 bytes OK
....
