You're right, we don't follow the Haskell standard here. It is possible
to obtain the correct behaviour by adding this line:
if (h==HSTDIN) putchar(c);
to primHreader at approximately line 500, just before the line
updapRoot(consChar(c),...);
Having done this, you'll find that examples such as
interact (filter isAscii) -- from the Haskell 1.4 Report
are virtually useless since they interleave their input and
their output.
