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.
