Forums Bug Reports $read with option s not working

//echo -a $read(versions.txt,s,Change)

This seem not to work. As far as I can tell, the rest of the options for $read work just fine.

Yes, versions.txt exists. Yes, it should find Change (its the 3rd or 4th line). Anyone who has Mirc 6.3 should have this file in their Mirc directory.
