(The above are from the machine I'm running send-pr on. I see this
issue on an 8.0 machine, a 5.2 machine, and a 1.4T machine as well, but
this is the one with mail working well on it.)
>Description:
EOF to the "want instructions?" question makes fish(8)
infinite-loop. (Also, typing return without answering the
question "does nothing"; you need a second return to proceed in
that case.)
>How-To-Repeat:
Start fish(8). At the
Would you like instructions (y or n)?
prompt, type your EOF character. Watch fish infinite-loop.
For the other issue, enter a zero-length line there. Notice
fish does not proceed until you give it _another_ newline.
>Fix:
This works for me on one of my 5.2 machines:
diff --git a/games/fish/fish.c b/games/fish/fish.c
