I just installed TeX 2.95 and have found one problem. If, when it asks
for input from the terminal, the user types a ^D, it goes into an
infinite loop, printing the prompt over and over until it is killed.
Note that it doesn't stop and wait between printing prompts! This one
can't be solved by answering 'null' or the like. ^\ is my current
solution. Yuck. Is this a common bug, or just here? Is there a patch?
