Changes for version 0.11

  • Fixed a newline-related bug in test suite that caused it to fail when (length "\n" == 2), as in Windows.
  • Slightly nicer error reporting.
  • Optimizations in SEEK: Only seek() on individual handles if their position is wrong. This is just in case the OS is dumb and clobbers read-ahead buffers on every seek(). I don't know if this is ever the case, but just to be safe... Should help on sequential reads.
