Yup, I got that now.

Up to now, I hadn't used it in my own code like that, so I still lived
with a completely _wrong_ idea of what isolate()'d do (like declaring
an int in 'C' - _not_ so!) and didn't get burned until I started
running mailreaver on Win32 with a GerH build. Lots of little stuff
going completely haywire, in no small part due to _me_ being the bug
and different I/O behaviour from Win32.

And then there's _still_ some screwup somewhere in there with CRLF vs.
LF, that I got to dig up, before UNIX and Win32 output is going to be
identical...
