Chikashi found a regression, it seems that one of the commits that's part of the whole win32 unicode suite breaks [soundfiler] loading files. The commit in question is 1089c6d1cef4dd82d9469ee1144bf022cb4f55c8 "Win32: use 'binary' file mode by default, we don't want the translations".
This patch is handy because it should make Win32 act more like POSIX, and never use the Win32 text translation mode crap. But apparently, something somewhere is relying on that. Any ideas as to how to fix this, or shall it just be reverted?
