First, why send 8 *DIFFERENT* bug reports with the same content?
Second, why is this a bug report? Have you read the FAQ first? You do
not give enough information to help us reproduce your problem, as you do
not describe what your "input1.txt" and "input2.txt" look like. I would
assume that reading x back from your input file failed somehow, which
should explain the problem.
