Thanks for the speedy reply.

I cannot actually find the place where that happens (setting the status 
to STATUS_SUCCESS), but I guess I will eventually.

Ok.  I had to set +comm to get that info, and modified the code to dump 
the contents of the COMMTIMEOUTS structure:

trace:comm:SetCommTimeouts ReadIntervalTimeout=4294967295
trace:comm:SetCommTimeouts ReadTotalTimeoutMultiplier=0
trace:comm:SetCommTimeouts ReadTotalTimeoutConstant=0
trace:comm:SetCommTimeouts WriteTotalTimeoutMultiplier=0
trace:comm:SetCommTimeouts WriteTotalTimeoutConstant=5000

MSDN says this means to return immediately with whatever is there.

It is called with an overlapped structure:
trace:file:ReadFile 0x88 0x42295ff1 1040 0x4081ace0 0x42295b5f
                                                     ^^^^^^^^^^
