(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:
