Summary: run/strings bug in 0.5

I believe I may have uncovered a bug in scsh 0.5.
To reproduce it, create a file called bug-line with 
just one line in
it:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\
x\263xx

It must have exactly 83 characters, and the third one 
counting from
the end must be decimal ascii 179 (which, in ISO8859-
2, represents the
character l stroke). (I have tried some variations on 
this -- like
moving the 179 character to other places, or changing 
the length of the
string, but then the bug fails to manifest itself).

Now evaluate the following expression:

(run/strings (cat bug-line))

The interpreter (started with the command "scsh") 
responds

'("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\
xxxx" "xx")

in other words, it splits the single line into two 
strings.

I have tried this on Solaris and on Linux.

Best regards,
Pawel Turnau

This has been fixed, though I can't remember
what the problem was. Works on my linux box,
for sure.
