Brian G reported a new bug.

Summary
-------

On a process streams peek seems to advances the read pointer

Type             : Bug
Priority         : High
Gambas version   : Master
Product          : Language


Description
-----------

While testing the util package process.expect extension

Where the ProcessExpect class does a 

   sData = Peek #hProcess, lof(hProcess)

       changed it to the folowing for testing as the above gets an eof error on the second read

   sData = Peek #hProcess, -254 'rlen i changed this because it always gets a eof error otherwise on the second read event

Two things occur after the first read it gets a eof error so changing it to -254 so that would not crash
it looks like the peek is advancing the read pointer and somehow that screws up the second peek
also chunks of data never make it to the read event.

This much seems to work using EXEC

but if I use Shell it never receives anything.

I hope this helps

I attach a test program
