Follow-up Comment #1:

So either printd or fileread or both are at fault here. The test as it is
written looks correct. My guess would be that printd is writing a valid text
file with Windows line endings, and fileread is not reading it back
correctly.

Can you check whether the file created by printd has Unix or Windows line
endings?

Can you try this simple patch to fileread.m and see if it fixes this?
