It probably means that s.in.ascii has effectively already crashed,
i.e. its internal state has become corrupted.

If this is on MacOSX, the first thing to check is that the ASCII file
is using LF line terminators and not CR. Running "od -t c <filename>"
should show "\n" after each record, and not "\r".
