Summary: NOT a bug!!

[]

EOF is NOT a char, not even an unsigned one.  Also, all
operations (e.g. the "c==EOF") are done with int's, not
chars.  Therefore you should declare c an int, as dictated
by K&R in the bible...

BTW, using chars, signed or unsigned, wastes time: it adds EXT.W
to convert it into an int... (or the AND #0xFF if unsigned).
Use the char type only for arrays, to save RAM.
