File 7 does not end with a line-end character. The very last character
in the file is part of a token. So if you program only gather's tokens
before EOF is found, it misses out on the last token.

File 10 is just random bytes. Many are greater than #7F. Your output
is ...

Total:       1, Unique:       1
01 I                    1
01 1
Elapsed time: 0.000000

but the acceptable output is either a message stating that the file contains
invalid bytes, or a valid attempt to count tokens. ...

There is still some optimisation left. I have a submission from Jiri Babor
and it is very, very, slick.

And people call me mad   It also gives a break to RDS - I'm anxious
for v2.5 and Robert doesn't need to many problems just now.
