Description Frank Richter 2007-11-14 21:45:12 UTC 
separate_debug_file_exists() opens the debug info file as a text file on MinGW.
This means it's incorrectly read: CRLF translation takes place and a byte 0x1a
(^Z) is treated as the end of file. This means that it's very unlikely that
separate debug files pass the crc check. 

Solution: open the file with the O_BINARY flag.
