wc bug in b18

Using beta 18 under NT 3.51, I get very strange results with wc:
wc usertools.exe
3 14 799 usertools.exe
However, wc -c gives the correct solution:
4416422 usertools.exe
I get similar premature end of file results with other tools, e.g. cat,
split. Is this something to do with the CR/LF thing? I have tried putting
an entry in the registry for fmode_binary, but this does not
make any difference. The registry entry I have tried is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
Cygnus Solutions
GNU-Win32
b18
fmode_binary:REG_SZ:1
I have only installed the user tools.
