   | 	kre says I/O errors will cause exit status >1.
 
 No, that's not what I said, I said that is what is supposed to
 happen, not what does happen currently.
 
 Currently EOF and read errors are treated identically, as if
 
 	if (read(...) <= 0)
 		return NO_MORE;
 
 I will (sometime not too far away) fix that, both the code, and
 the man page.   These changes will probably not make it into 11.0
 however (unless something delays that more than we'd hope).
 
 That's no huge loss, I've never seen an I/O error from the read
 builtin in any real application.
