Bug#169040: tetex-bin: tex uses "empty" filename after first "another file" request on input error
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202-8
Severity: normal
Tags: sid upstream
Example session:
~/tex$ tex
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.7)
**sorry
! I can't find file `sorry'.
<*> sorry
Please type another input file name:
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/tools/.tex File ignored)
*\end
No pages of output.
Transcript written on .log.
~/tex$
At the "Please type another input file name" prompt, end-of-line was
sent.
According to The TeXbook, the behavior should be to ask for another
input file name until a real file is found. (p.30-31, Experiment (not
exercise) 5)
