This is not an error -- readline and the shell read EOF when this happens,
not an error from read. Readline returns the line to the application,
without executing any function bound to accept-line.

EOF delimits a token; it is not an error condition. If the delimited
token is sufficient to complete a command, the command is considered
parsed and subsequently executed. All shells I looked at behave this
way.
