Hi there !

Here a minimal code :

```julia
function test()
    i = 1 
    while true
        println("Input expected (n°$i)")
        readline(stdin)
        i+=1
    end 
end

main() = test()

```

Then I run `main()` in the `julia>` prompt (launched with `julia -i test.jl`). And now I run `Ctrl+D`. And from now, no readline makes waiting the infinite loop :

```julia
$> julia -i infinite.jl

julia> main()
Input expected (n°1)
Input expected (n°2)
Input expected (n°3)
Input expected (n°4)
Input expected (n°5)
Input expected (n°6)
Input expected (n°7)
Input expected (n°8)
Input expected (n°9)
Input expected (n°10)

```

Why ? I expected one of these behaviours :

- Stopping of julia REPL
- Stopping of ONE of the readline

What happens ?
