I would frame the issue slightly differently, since this is not just about 
terminals; the code we're discussing applies to any file.  Suppose EOF has been 
seen in a call to one of the stdio input functions.  Prior to commit 1f8f7e2d, 
any further calls to those functions would immediately return EOF.  Since that 
commit, however, another attempt is made to read, and the EOF indicator for the 
file is turned off if input is found.  In many cases (e.g., an ordinary disk 
file), this second read will still return EOF.  In other cases (e.g., a 
terminal), the second read might block if there's still no input available.
