Misleading error message in case too big s-record file

[bicyclesonthemoon]

If I try by mistake to program a microcontroller with an s-record file which is supposed for a different, bigger microcontroller, then the file will not fit in the memory.

In stdout I will see (-vv) "Read file D:\b\test.mot"
And in stderr "read failed"

The text "read failed" is misleading because it suggest that for some reason it was not possible to read the file while in reality the file was successfully read but was rejected.
