"I believe this is because the terminal driver turns a ^D into an EOF
only when it's at the beginning of a line."

"I don't think they should have to worry about abruptly terminated input,
other than not crashing." - Vern


So if you encounter CNTRL+D at the end of the line, do something 
reasonable: process it and close, or just close. Both are fine. Just 
don't crash.
