I've uploaded a new "exp" version of gawk.  This version understands the
BINMODE variable setting which, AFAICT, was not really supported in gawk
before.

This won't necessarily solve the above problem however.  It just allows
one to force BINMODE if required.  Unfortunately, the BINMODE setting is
either "use the default" or "read files in binary".  The default is
currently based on the mount mode, unfortunately.

So far, my above assertion that this was going to be a gawk problem
seems to be wrong.  I think I will need to work around some automode
problems in the dll itself.
