Hello c.k.

  Just as a guess (I don't have or use RSS).

What if you go,

integer fn
  object line
   fn = open( myfile, "r" )
   while 1 do
     line=gets(fn)
     puts(1,line&"\n")
   end while
  

   Does it print -1 repeatedly? 

   or just once and crash?

   If so the crash message should give you some clue.
