As for why python hangs when the test fails: This is caused by a bug in
lib\sdk\crt\mem\i386\memchr_asm.s. "repne scasb" doesn't affect ZF when ecx=0,
so memchr(..., ..., 0) will not always return NULL like it should. This puts
python's file_readlines into an infinite loop.

Putting something to clear ZF (e.g. "test %esp,%esp") before it will fix that
problem.
