Oops, looked like I did that in the wrong window, using an ancient,
buggy hugs. Sorry about that.

Sorry, I wasn't expecting you to need it as /dev/null looked like a good
first test case.

Here's a smaller testcase for the original problem, with hugs September
2006 and cpphs 1.2:

$ runhugs -98 Setup.hs --hugs configure --prefix=/tmp/cpphs/inst
$ runhugs -98 Setup.hs build
$ runhugs -98 Setup.hs install
$ export LC_ALL=POSIX
$ printf "Bj\xf6rn Bringert" > foo
$ /tmp/cpphs/inst/bin/cpphs foo 

Program error: <handle>: IO.getContents: protocol error (input contains
non-character data - use binary I/O for binary data)
$


Thanks
