		And possibly it would make sense to write how many
		characters were read and how many we expected so
		something as:

		tst_res(TFAIL, "Read %zi expected %zu", len, strlen(STRING));

		and we also want to do return; if we fail to read
		strlen(STRING) bytes because checking the buffer content
		does not make sense at that point, since it's possibly
		only partialy intialized
