NateEag commented on issue #284: readAsText function causes encoding error reading large files

   Just wanted to add that I ran into this problem in a project at my job.
   
   It's not that hard to encounter it - loading a file with more than 262,144 bytes that's primarily composed of multibyte characters (that is, non-ASCII ones, in UTF-8 encoding) should do it often.
   
   Here is a bit of interactive Python 3 that generates a UTF-8 file that should consistently break the `readAsText()` function:
   
   ```python3
   >>> longstring = 'a' * 262143 + u'‘abc'
   >>> file = open('testfile.txt', 'w')
   >>> file.write(longstring)
   >>> file.close()
   ```
