I think this is the correct behaviour, IIRC in theory in text files an
End-Of-File must always be preceeded by an End-Of-Line. So I think that a
Ctrl-Z inside a line (so not immediately after a CR/LF) is interpreted as
normal charcter input, with no special End-Of-File meaning.

The confusion is still big, as many sources contradict each other on what a
"text file" is, and implementations too.
For example, Pascal function Eoln is always true if Eof is true, even if
ther isn't actually a CR/LF before Ctrl-Z (IIRC).

Ciao
