.SH BUGS
You can't send an end-of-file through a pipe.
Thus hitting control-D in dribble will bring the world crashing down.
If you hit `EOF' followed immediately by a control-D dribble
tries to fake an EOF which is good enough to fool some programs,
notably not
.IR ex (UCB).

Some programs expect standard input to be a teletype and act strangely
when dribbled because it isn't.
