Silently loosing data when reading a stream?

You finished your message complaining something about "chop behavior",
so I thought you were talking about something else.

(BTW, I think your implementation still cannot handle embedded '0x0A's
in lines :)

You mean \r?

Why? Do nothing to them, just like before? Whatever the system C library does to them we pass it along until the newline (usually \n) split from the C library. Nothing special on top of that, just that my patch make sure all the C library returns ends up in the Lua string.

What do I miss?
