I don't know what you expected to happen.
Your program seems to just read each file
until it encounters a -1 (end of file).
If a file has been corrupted, maybe you will
get a -1 prematurely. Euphoria itself will never
report an error. Maybe you should count the number of
bytes and compare with the size in the dir() entry.
