Hi Johan.
Here you are having to test for two special cases every time: chunk==-1
and curp==endp-1. I would suggest changing the specification of "before
beginning of file" to include the promise that curp==endp-1, so that you
don't have to use a separate test here and can instead test for this
special case within increment_chunk().
