I tried this with hugs-Sept2006 and could not reproduce the error. Mystified.

Oops, looked like I did that in the wrong window, using an ancient, buggy hugs. Sorry about that.

I tried upgrading to 1.2 to see if it is fixed, and trying to haddock missingh then gave an almighty pattern match failure.

Is there a more accessible mirror of MissingH anywhere?

Sorry, I wasn't expecting you to need it as /dev/null looked like a good first test case. Here's a smaller testcase for the original problem, with hugs September 2006 and cpphs 1.2: $ runhugs -98 Setup.hs --hugs configure --prefix=/tmp/cpphs/inst $ runhugs -98 Setup.hs build $ runhugs -98 Setup.hs install $ export LC_ALL=POSIX $ printf "Bj\xf6rn Bringert" > foo $ /tmp/cpphs/inst/bin/cpphs foo Program error: <handle>: IO.getContents: protocol error (input contains non-character data - use binary I/O for binary data) $ Thanks Ian
