I noticed that Split doesn't check for filetypes before it starts splitting the file. As a result, it's possible to eat up CPU and Disk memory by passing in a character device as input. I wanted to make Split more robust by adding a patch to check for file type. This patch do break some of the tests for Split. The tests that are checking Split's ability to "elide empty files" by using /dev/null as input fail with this patch, since /dev/null is a character device. I would love to modify those tests to use a regular empty file, upon the approval of this patch. Thanks!
