    Hello there. I was trying to read a bitmap file using hGetChar but I =
had a problem: if the file contains the byte 26-decimal (or 1A-hexa)  =
the program aborts. Here you have the output:

Fail: end of file
Action: hGetChar

    Since hGetChar is implemented with getc, I created a similar program =
in C, using getc. This program written in C had no problems. Is this a =
haskell bug or does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks,
Andre Furtado
