[erlang-questions] was there a bugfix to {packet, line} mode between R10B and R11B?

could this be related to the (still existing?) problem with windows and 
reading from stdin that was reported both one and two years ago?
the following program does not work on windows (reportedly). it is 
supposed to be run with stdin from a file.

-module(tmp).
-export([main/1]).

main(_Args) ->
	echo_lines(io:get_line('')),
	erlang:halt().

echo_lines(eof) ->
	ok;
echo_lines(Line) ->
	io:put_chars(Line),
	echo_lines(io:get_line('')).
