i'm trying to parse a binary file that simply contains Wav files one 
after the other packed with an arbitrary header that points where one 
file begins and the lenght of it.
The case is that i want to ignore decomposing the header and just dump 
each file as i encounter the Wav headers, but Ruby stops reading data 
unexpectedly.

in a nutshell, my code goes like this:
File.open('sound.dat', 'r').each_byte do |byte|
  #...stuff to process the data...
end

The block exits at 15864 bytes without throwing any errors. I even tried 
reading the whole file to memory and it just loads those same 15864 
bytes (and it's a 190MiB file!!!)

Is this a known Ruby bug? am i doing something wrong?

thanks in advance,
/gonchuki
