Hi,
if you're using ghc under Win32, this is expected behaviour
(and is there because of backwards compatibility with CP/M -
see http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q68/4/23.asp
for more info.)
The fix is to open your file in BinaryMode using
IOExts.openFileEx :: FilePath -> IOModeEx -> IO Handle
data IOModeEx = BinaryMode IOMode | TextMode IOMode
There's also
hSetBinaryMode :: Handle -> Bool -> IO Bool
to change the text/binary flag on the fly, but please notice
that this may interact unexpectedly with buffering.
