I'm not sure what "caught" means here. It demonstrates that if a character is split across a chunk boundary (which is inevitable), that there is no problem. And does that first 8192-byte chunk get loaded into an SV that is then > invalid if its UTF-8 flag is on? > I don't know the implementation, so I don't know if it's possible for the SV to have its UTF-8 flag on (or if the buffer is an SV at all). I think the real question is: What happens if the second read fails? - Eric
