Problem reading files...

Hello there. I was trying to read a bitmap file using hGetChar but I had a problem: if the file contains the byte 26-decimal (or 1A-hexa) the program aborts. Here you have the output: Fail: end of file Action: hGetChar Since hGetChar is implemented with getc, I created a similar program in C, using getc. This program written in C had no problems. Is this a haskell bug or does anyone know what's going on? Thanks, Andre Furtado
