Re: Another spurious compilation diagnostic?

Well, it may have been over 32 KB; I'm not sure.  In any case, only  
the first 1,024 bytes (or so) made it in.

The expression:

   (read-line (cpc-stin cpc) nil nil)

Where (cpc-stin cpc) was explicitly set to *terminal-io*, and the  
input is being done from a terminal.

It looks like every input test with less than about 1 KB works okay.
