Yes. I removed that, since I think it should rather be handled in tree.c after the loading is completed.

    if ( count < buffer_size )
        buffer[count] = 0;

It null terminates, unless the string was completely filled. This is standard behaviour, just like strncpy etc. However, I'm inclined to agree with you that this can cause problems, since users of read_line (such as myself ;) will likely forget to check this.
