[Help-smalltalk] [Possible bug] #upToEnd etc on certain files

[Peter Schuller]

Hello again,

I was writing code today that read /proc/rd/status to query the status
of a RAID array. It appears End Of File detection is not working on that
file for some reason, and perhaps other /proc files? (I haven't tested
much, at the moment I'm in the middle of a complete system
restoration.)

Doing:

   (File name: '/proc/rd/status') readStream upToEnd!

causes gst to read data indefinitely from the file.

I'll look into it some more and report back, but in the mean time if'there's an 
obvious reason for this behavior...
