[Bug-apl] problems with ^D

When I build and run GNU APL on Ubuntu 15.04, ^D seems to behave strangely.

1. The first four times I hit it I get "^D" echoed, followed by a
blank line and a helpful message. After that I just get "^D" echoed,
with no message at all. (I expected it to exit the interpreter if I
hit it n times in a row, for some value of n; this is what the bash
shell does when you set e.g. IGNOREEOF=10.)

      ^D

      ^D or end-of-input detected (1). Use )OFF to leave APL!
      ^D

      ^D or end-of-input detected (2). Use )OFF to leave APL!
      ^D

      ^D or end-of-input detected (3). Use )OFF to leave APL!
      ^D

      ^D or end-of-input detected (4). Use )OFF to leave APL!
      ^D
      ^D
      ^D

2. The next line I type after hitting ^D always seems to cause a
strange error in Command.cc:

      ^D

      ^D or end-of-input detected (1). Use )OFF to leave APL!
      )off
EOF at Command.cc:65
      )off

Goodbye.

I had to type )off twice here, because the first one just gave the EOF
error and didn't exit the interpreter.

Thanks,
Jay.
