Doug Gwyn seems to be complaining because 4.2's "sticky EOF" will make
things like
% cat -u
foo^D
exit. Not true! If you type
% cat -u
foo
^D
(assuming ^D is your EOF character) *then* cat will exit, but for the
former, it will print "foo" and keep reading. One more ^D (unless
preceded by other text) will cause it to terminate.
