Is it really "defile" that gets printed up there, or is that another
typo? I highly recommend that you provide a complete program for us to try.

This time it seems to be complaining about a space *after* the file
name! (?)

I have a vague recollection that forward slashes work with file names
even under Windows.

That doesn't look right: char is a UTF-8 code unit. Unless you are sure
that the file contains UTF-8, I recommend you use something else, e.g.
ubyte.

Do you intend to ignore that read? The data will be overwritten by the
following rawRead.

You are doing that because you are sure that there is a valid Unicode
character there? (Although I am not sure how it is related to the problem.)

'to' may throw an exception. Try wrapping that section in a try block to
see whether you get any information from that exception.
Also, try compiling with -g or -gc to see whether the backtrace will be
more useful.
