The file is 7 MB of ascii text, don't know if that matters...
Should I upgrade versions?
Looking at the implementation of readText, I believe its
implementation is not able to trim off the beginning of a file.
Be wary of how you look at the result, some tools may
"helpfully" hide things (like unprintable characters, or
overwrite what has already been displayed when it sees a
carriage return).
If you can't figure it out yourself, the best thing to do here
is to post your exact file somewhere so people can diagnose. Or
reproduce with a smaller one, and then post that somewhere.

I'm feeling this. My keyboard sometimes messes up and will send
invalid key presses to my OS which often ends up with invalid
characters being written in files.
When I encounter it I usually open Notepad++ and turn on show all
characters which will display unprintable characters, simply
allowing me to delete them and have a clean file again.
