Hi, list.

I think I found a slight difference of behavior of OCaml on MinGW and Linux
regarding the EOF character.  On Linux, the EOF char in the middle of a file
is ignored, but on MinGW, the attempt to read EOF causes End_of_file
Exception.  Is this a supposed behavior?

(ok, I have found some discussion on EOF on beginners list, but cannot find
something exactly answering this problem.)

I attached an ocaml program (which is simply a cat) and a file which
reproduce the problem.  On Linux, doing
ocaml testEoF.ml < UTF-32#LE
outputs the whole file before the exception End_of_file, but on MinGW, the
script fails in the middle of Etruscan text, which happens to contain 0x1a
character.

Best,
