1475 bytes

I'm writing a program that uses fopen() and fread() but I'm having a
problem.  The program only sees a total of 336,058 bytes of a file that is
51,693,886 bytes.  Am I doing something wrong?  BTW, I'm using fopen()
because I'm going to build the program on Linux in addition to Windows.

   FILE *fp;
   const int read_chunk_size = 16384;
   char buf[read_chunk_size];
   unsigned int bytes_read;
   int  total_bytes = 0;
   fp = fopen(filename,"rt");

   do
   {
      bytes_read = fread(buf,1,read_chunk_size,fp);
      total_bytes += bytes_read;
   }
   while (bytes_read == read_chunk_size);

   fclose(fp);
