It's probably returning -1 for end of file.
I'll be trying to look at this whole issue soon. It's clear that the
code was written to disallow getline into $0 even if from a file.
What's not clear is why it was done that way. I have no earthly idea
at this point and will probably do something like Andy's patch, but I
want to wait until I'm more awake to try to handle it.
Thanks,
