line eater


1. A href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=bug">bug in some now-obsolete versions of the href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Usenet">Usenet software that used to eat up to href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=BUFSIZ">BUFSIZ bytes of the article text. The bug was triggered by having the text of the article start with a space or tab. This bug was quickly personified as a mythical creature called the "line eater", and postings often included a dummy line of "line eater food". Ironically, line eater "food" not beginning with a space or tab wasn' t actually eaten, since the bug was avoided but if there *was* a space or tab before it, then the line eater would eat the food *and* the beginning of the text it was supposed to be protecting. The practice of "sacrificing to the line eater" continued for some time after the bug had been href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=nailed to the wall">nailed to the wall, and is still humorously referred to. The bug itself is still (in mid-1991) occasionally reported to be lurking in some mail-to-netnews href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=gateways">gateways. 2. href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=NSA line eater">NSA line eater.
