Just outBuf ~= buf.dup; works, too. Without .dup you're

From the documentation on File.readln

reusing the buffer means that the previous contents of it has
to be copied if needed."
I'm a bit puzzled as for why it behaves differently with dchar.
Okay, that was obviously the bit I was missing. The dchar
situation IS baffling -- if that hadn't worked, I would have been
more certain I was simply doing something wrong.
