Suppose the first line of a 5-column flat CSV file is as follows:

,Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4

This line is skipped in v1.9.2, and so the data file has no column header (only V1,V2,...,V5). This has not been a problem in v1.8.10.

Got into that also. Used to work. now silently ignoring the headers even if header = TRUE.

In v1.9.5, I get this:

fread(",Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4\na,b,c,d,e\n1,2,3,4,5", verbose=FALSE)
#    V1 Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4
# 1:  a    b    c    d    e
# 2:  1    2    3    4    5

Could you please verify this and write back as well, @kforner ? Thanks.
