Did you verify whether it works properly on systems where text
and binary I/O are different? In the contest, the first thing the
machine needs to do is "decompress" a file, and both the input
and output contain sequences which will be mangled if the normal
text CR LF mapping takes place. I ran afoul of that in my C++
version of the code and it took me a while to realize what was
going on.
