Describe the bug There's an invalid numeric literal error when the input preceded by non-json line.

To Reproduce

$ cat broken.json; echo -n "\nJQ output:\n\n"; jq -Rr 'fromjson // .' broken.json
dummy
{"wat-da":100}
{"work-dat":"100"}

JQ output:

jq: error (at broken.json:1): Invalid numeric literal at EOF at line 1, column 5 (while parsing 'dummy')
jq: error (at broken.json:2): Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 14 (while parsing '{"wat-da":100}')
{
  "work-dat": "100"
}

$ cat moved.json; echo -n "\nJQ output:\n\n"; jq -Rr 'fromjson // .' moved.json  
{"wat-da":100}
{"work-dat":"100"}
dummy

JQ output:

{
  "wat-da": 100
}
{
  "work-dat": "100"
}
jq: error (at moved.json:3): Invalid numeric literal at EOF at line 1, column 5 (while parsing 'dummy')

Expected behavior

$ cat broken.json; echo -n "\nJQ output:\n\n"; jq -Rr 'fromjson // .' broken.json
dummy
{"wat-da":100}
{"work-dat":"100"}

JQ output:

jq: error (at broken.json:1): Invalid numeric literal at EOF at line 1, column 5 (while parsing 'dummy')
{
  "wat-da": 100
}
{
  "work-dat": "100"
}

Seems similar to https://github.com/stedolan/jq/pull/2400?

Could be.

It is definitely connected. I just tested it and #2400 fixes this issue too.

This bug was fixed by #2400 (c4d39c4d22f2b12225ca1b311708f7e084ad9ff8).
