This patch makes sure that the routine Check_For_BOM cannot
read past the end of file. In practice it is probably the
case that this cannot cause a real error, but valgrind can
see that this is happening. So this change will avoid the
annoying false positive from valgrind. It's not worth setting
up a valgrind test for this very minor issue, and there is
no way to generate a real test that fails, so no test.

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk
