Re: [9fans] Bgetrune while(i>runesize) loop

[Pietro Gagliardi <pietro10@mac.com>]

I got nothing spectacular from that, but changing the \x00s to QRS
gave me something interesting: without the loop, readrune gives me
[?]S, but with it it, it gives me [?]QRS, like cat would've.

Would this be because fullrune doesn't check for validity, and if
chartorune fails then the possibility of eating too much comes about?
