The prompt parser ran as a do-while, so an empty cli.prompt executed the body on the terminator and scanned past it. Use a while loop and return the interned empty string when nothing was appended. No regression test: extra unicode warnings from the over-read depend on heap contents, so a .phpt cannot pin the bug red-before.
