#13 Fix for infinite loop in ibtest after pressing ^D

I noticed that when running the 'ibtest' program on Linux, ^D causes the program to enter an infinite loop.

The fix is trivial - just detect EOF on stdin and treat it the same as pressing 'q'.

Please see attached patch (ibtest.patch).

I've commited a somewhat more extensive fix that also addresses some other places in ibtest where it does similar things. It is in svn revision 1917, but I haven't tested it. Would you try it and see if it works for you?

  I'm not currently in a position to thoroughly test it (I just have an adapter with no devices hooked up yet) but it does at least seem to fix the infinite loop.
  
  Thanks for the quick response.
