Comment(by NotFound):
My fault, forgot to take a note for commenting it at parrotsketch. The
behavior has been reverted, yes.
The problem is that the method return a STRING * when not eof and PMCNULL
when EOF, so if a string register is used for the returned value we get a
PMCNULL access on EOF. Returning NULL makes more sense but breaks existing
code, as this ticket shows, so it need a proposal for deprecation.
On the other part, setting the EOF flag *after* reading EOF is a
reasonable behavior and can be easily implemented.
