They're CRLF-terminated because we use svn_stream_from_stdio to open the
dumper and loader streams. The stdio streams are translated by default
on Windows.

I don't know what happens during the load (LF <-> CRLF translation
should be reversible), but I suspect that the the translated stdio
thinks it has an EOF when it sees a ^Z in the input stream, which
interestingly enough occurs very near the beginning of a Word document.

Is that broken? Well, it's only true of translated streams, and if you
write binary data to a stream that believes it's text, you get what you
deserve.

The solution is to reopen the streams in binary mode, obviously. I
wonder how you do that in APR.
