Wasted a night in the merry old land of Oz (the language)

I spent most of last night struggling to figure out how to do the equivalent of XMLin( get( $url ) ) in Mozart/Oz and getting frustrated because the interpreter would just "hang." It turns out this only happens when I run it on Windows and not on Linux. Arrrrgh!

functor
import
   Application
   Open
   Parser at 'x-oz://system/xml/Parser.ozf'
define
   Url XmlParser Doc Fd
in
   Url = 'http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=207304'

   % Hangs on Windows.
   Fd = {New Open.file init(url:Url flags:[read])}

   % Commented out for testing. Also hangs on Windows
   % XmlParser = {New Parser.parser init}
   % {XmlParser parseURL(Url Doc)}

   {Application.exit 0}
end
