I don't have a strong opinion about this, but I wonder which behaviour
would be the best: Process every line without stopping on the first
invalid line or Process every line until one invalid line is found (like
it is implemented currently). From your sentence I guess you'd prefer
the first? Is this a strong requirement in order for the patch to be
included into coreutils? Otherwise I'd like to hear the submitters
opinion as well.

Best Regards,
Patrick
