I note that today we also had a report of a bug related to non-evaluatoin of a check in 'binary', meaning an error condition wouldn't be spotted, and a short-read value would be returned. Possibly related.

I tried the most recent darcs version of binary, and the problem appears to have been fixed, presumably by the patch replacing inlinePerformIO with unsafePerformIO. -- /NAD
