The tests might seem overkill for this particular bug, but I was writing them for #33721, so they will still be useful.
An alternative fix might be to define
read(s::IO, ::Type{Bool}) = read(s, UInt8) % Boolinstead ofread(s, UInt8) != 0.Both definitions coincide if
Bools are stored in "canonical binary representation", and the definition ofreadseems to leave the result unspecified for non-canonicalBool.
