Applies to Parrot RELEASE_4_8_0-130-g6236d2d and earlier. The issue is described in detail in the following Parrot ticket: https://github.com/parrot/parrot/issues/860 It is unclear if the problem lies with the Parrot or Rakudo codebase. An (untested) workaround would be to pass an explicit value to the optional record_separator argument of the readline() method of the Handle PMC, invoked in method get() of class IO. This of course wouldn't fix the problem of overwiting the handle's record_separator attribute with garbage.
