It's a bug in your implementation of takeLine I believe. It doesn't take into account that lines can span multiple chunks. When you call takeLine the first time, you get "L1\n". leftover puts a chunk with exactly those contents back. When you call takeLine the second time, it gets the chunk "L1\n", and your splitAt gives you back "L1\n" and "". The "" is then leftover, and the next call to takeLine gets it.

Your takeLine needs to include logic saying "there's no newline in this chunk at all, let's get the next chunk and try that." You can look at the source to lines[1] for an example of the concept.

Say I have code like below. If I comment the leftover in main, I got (Just "L1\n", Just "L2\n", Just "L3\n", Just "L4\n"). But if I did not comment the leftover, then I got (Just "L1\n", Just "L1\n", Just "", Just "L2\n").

Why is not it (Just "L1\n", Just "L1\n", Just "L2\n", Just "L3\n")?

takeLine :: (Monad m) => Consumer ByteString m (Maybe ByteString)

takeLine = do

  mBS <- await

  case mBS of

    Nothing -> return Nothing

    Just bs ->

      case DBS.elemIndex _lf bs of

        Nothing -> return $ Just bs

        Just i -> do

          let (l, ls) = DBS.splitAt (i + 1) bs

          leftover ls

          return $ Just l

main = do

  m <- runResourceT $ sourceFile "test.simple" $$ (do

    a <- takeLine

    leftover $ fromJust a

    b <- takeLine

    c <- takeLine

    d <- takeLine

    return (a, b, c, d))

  print m
