(Get the code!)
The bug was that the return value of getline() was checked for EOF - but getline() also returns on out-of-memory conditions which are thus treated as a end of file.
The attached patch should fix that, but further testing is warranted. If this fix is correct, I'd like to push for a co-ordinated update soon, possibly tomorrow.
