Summary: files with long lines and an encoding crash

Initial Comment:
If a source file declares an encoding, but has a line >
512 characters, a buffer overflows.  debug builds
assert, but release builds trudge along.

Problem is that when reading an encoded line, the
'size' param is not passed to the underlying readline
function.

Attaching a test case and a patch.
