I tried a simple test program, it works fine with your input (FC returns no
differences). I'm running GCC 3.2. See if this program works with source.txt
being the above values.

----------- Start ------------
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

int main()
{
    using std::cout;
    using std::cerr;
    using std::endl;

    const int BUF_SIZE = 256;
    char buf[BUF_SIZE];

    std::ifstream in_file;
    std::ofstream out_file;

    in_file.open("source.txt");
    if(!in_file)
    {
        cerr << "Couldn't open source.txt\n";
        return 1;
    }
    out_file.open("dest.txt");

    while(!in_file.eof())
    {
        in_file.getline(buf, BUF_SIZE);
        out_file << buf << endl;
        cout << buf << endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

---------- Stop ------------

Tell me what you get. If you get the error (or even if you don't), try
upgrading to the latest MinGW with GCC 3.2. The URL I used is
http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mingw/MinGW-2.0.0-2.exe.

It may be out-dated now. Check the MinGW website.
