Well, the good news is, I found the bug.  The bad news is, there
doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it.  The problem is,
the 3.01 editor doesn't define an equivalent for ungetc, so when
the 3.1 code tries to call ungetc, it gets the one in the runtime
library, but it doesn't have a valid file pointer (it has the 
special value that identifies an internal stream.)  So it blows 
up.

The problem should fix itself when the 3.1 windows source is released,
however.
