Summary:                    file(STRINGS file VAR) fails to read entire file
Description: 
I am experiencing some weird issues with file(STRINGS. 

It fails to read my entire file. The file is 2529 lines long, but CMake only
read 1885. Or well it reads the entire file, but then stops splitting it up into
lines, instead the last list entry consists of all the lines between 1885-2529.

Steps to Reproduce: 
cmake -DFILE=thefile.gcov -P testscript.cmake


testscript:

file(STRINGS ${FILE} LIST)
list(LENGTH LIST LIST_COUNT)
message("${LIST_COUNT}")

Additional Information: 
I have not been able to test with a later CMake yet. But I hope there is some
workaround for this for older versions as well.
