hi, thank you for attempting this. it looks like your unix machine unzipped the txt file without corruption -- if you copied over the same txt file to windows 7, i don't think that would reproduce the problem? i think it needs to be the corrupted text file where R.utils::countLines( txtfile ) gives 809367. i am able to reproduce on two distinct windows machines but no guarantee i'm not doing something dumb
