Emacs sends text to processes in packets of at most 255 characters. In between these ghci now gets a ^D character sequence inserted into the text. This did not happen previously (ie. with 6.8.2).
This sounds like a bug: either editline or ghci assumes that when it successfully reads data which lacks a line terminator than it has seen an EOF, so inserts a ^D. But if it received the data at the maximum tty buffer size (255) then there is no trigger character.
(This is easy enough to work around: special-case reads of length 255. But in reality, this means something is Doing It Wrong.)
