 One change that might fix this is to replace the finfo.st_size in (retval + finfo.st_size) with the value returned by fread in this chunk of code:

        if (!fread(retval, (size_t) finfo.st_size, 1, infile)) {
            (void)fclose(infile);
            free(retval);
            return (NULL);
        }
        *(retval + finfo.st_size) = '\0';

 If that doesn't work, you could try changing the "r" to "rb" in the fopen at the start of getfilecontents.
