It's SIOUX. I just looked at the code, and it explicitly convert
ctrl-D and ctrl-Z to end-of-file. So, if End indeed generates 0x04
then that's what causes this.

The bad news is that it's difficult to fix, because I don't really
want to muck with Sioux. The good news, however, is that the IDE
probably doesn't have the problem, and people should be using the IDE
for interactive work anyway:-)
