I'm afraid I haven't a clue as to what might be going on. It needs
somebody who can do debugging at the code level on Windows to find out
exactly what is happening. Maybe it is using readline calls when it
should not be (i.e. when it is reading from a file)? The code uses the
test

    if (isatty(fileno(f)))


to determine whether the input file is a terminal or not. I don't know
how universal isatty() is.

Thanks for all the testing. Unless other issues arise, I'll give it
another week or so for people to come back after the New Year, and then
I'll release 7.5.
