One of the cases could be opening the file in ascii mode. Grep through the 
source code and make sure there are no ::open() (not QFile which is OK) calls 
used without O_BINARY flag. On Windows ascii mode is the default. Replace 
open() with portable KDE_open() from <kde_file.h>.

If you want to debug, set a breakpoint near the error message and look at the 
call stack.

What file format do you try and what app do you play with?
