1. Stdio's _filbuf() thinks that end-of-file has been reached, because it sets the bit. (I.e., feof(stdin) returns true.)

2. I said that the control-D was typed at the beginning of the line, thus forcing a zero-length read().

The problem is that fread() is not correctly dealing with the fact that its input is buffered and, hence, it must defer reporting some events, such as end-of-file.
