Hello Joel,

Simple. You never check for EOF thus when it occurs (on the second read) the 
buffer still contains the data from the previous successful read.

It never moves to the next record because there isn't one. You said the file 
contains one record therefore the next read will get EOF but you don't check 
that so you enter and endless loop processing the same data ad infinitum.
