String which contains the substring "EOF"?
Some poorly-written applications may treat the string "EOF" as an end of file without regard for context (as opposed to bash)
Can you please explain more on this issue? Maybe something like https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4209933
I seem to remember a story like this being posted on Hacker News, where some old business software crashed if a file contained the literal text "EOF
". Can't find it now though.
