fread doen't distinguish between EOF and other errors when reading. From the
viewpoint of gadget, both are equally bad and the run needs to be
terminated. To see whether you are dealing with an end-of-file or another
error you can replace the line
printf("I/O error (fread) on task=%d has occured: end of file\n",
ThisTask);
with
if(feof(stream))
printf("I/O error (fread) on task=%d has occured: end of file\n",
ThisTask);
else
printf("I/O error (fread) on task=%d has occured: %s\n", ThisTask,
strerror(errno));
I think you will likely see an end-of-file error now, i.e. your IC file is
corrupt somehow. (It should have a length of 1966376.)

Yes, see above.
Replacing my_fread with read will make the code ignore the I/O error. I
wouldn't recommend that since then some of the initial data is undefined
with unpredictable outcome.
