Dear Maintainer,

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but example:


$ echo line 1 > test.txt
$ wc test.txt
1 2 7 test.txt

$ echo line 2 >> test.txt
$ wc test.txt
 2  4 14 test.txt

$ echo -n line 3 >> test.txt
$ wc test.txt
 2  6 20 test.txt

$ wc -l test.txt
2 test.txt

$ cat test.txt
line 1
line 2
line 3


$ > wc.pl           
$count = 0;
while (<>) {
  $count++;
}
print "total $count lines\n";

$ perl wc.pl test.txt 
total 3 lines
