You're welcome. Just in case it does get documented, I should clarify
that it's more a function of the C runtime library being used rather
than somthing unique in Windows OS.

It's just that Windows builders often use Microsoft's compilers and
thus Microsoft's runtime C libraries. There may be other compilers
for Windows whose C library for fgets() does not halt when it spots
a ASCII 26 char.

Also pcretest looks for #define options SUPPORT_LIBREADLINE and
SUPPORT_LIBEDIT, in which case it may use readline() vs. fgets().
I have no clue whether readline() would also massage input data,
perhaps it too varies among C runtime library implementations.
