Summary: file readline() mishandles \032 char on Windows

Initial Comment:
The following snippet behaves differently on Windows (2.2.2) and 
Linux (2.2.1). 
 
>>>s = 'ab\032cd' 
>>>f = file('test', 'w') 
>>>f.write(s+'\n') 
>>>f.close() 
>>>f = file('test') 
>>>f.readline() 
 
Linux returns: 'ab\x1a\cd\n' 
Windows returns: 'ab' 
 
\032 is ascii substitute and also ^z according to this page 
(http://francis.courtois.free.fr/jc1/serial/Resources/ASCII.html). 
 
Thank you.
