I just tested with the executable packaged with the Windows SDK for Windows 7
(7.1) and found that it rejects the attached EOF sample. I don't have the time
to go farther back, but this suggests that this has been the functionality for
at least a very long time.

Considering this hasn't been allowed in mc.exe for quite a while (since Windows
7) and resulted in an infinite loop on windmc until this patch, I suspect there
aren't many projects relying on it? Unless I have unintentionally broken
something which was previously working, in which case I do apologize.
