Standard first-year programming assignment, with standard error included:

main()
{
char c;
	while((c=getchar()) != EOF)) putchar(c);
}

Hint: what's the *actual* prototype for getchar(), and the *actual* value
of EOF? ;)

DOn't suggest we use a "not possible in MULE" bitpattern - I once tried to
run XEmacs 20.1 or so in a Latvian UTF-8 environment, and the results were
NOT pretty. ;)
