Also, if the header is bad, exit with a non-zero status.
Other calls to Brdline in the tree, by category:
Reading symbol name from object file:
./cmd/5l/obj.c:486: name = Brdline(f, '\0');
./cmd/6l/obj.c:535: name = Brdline(f, '\0');
./cmd/8l/obj.c:564: name = Brdline(f, '\0');
./libmach/sym.c:292: cp = Brdline(bp, '\0');
Reading archive header line (fixed, short):
./cmd/gc/lex.c:287: if((a = Brdline(b, '\n')) == nil)
./cmd/gc/lex.c:303: if((p = Brdline(b, '\n')) == nil)
Reading object file header line (fixed, short):
./cmd/ld/lib.c:421: line = Brdline(f, '\n');
Reading undefined symbol list (unused code):
./cmd/ld/lib.c:773: while((l = Brdline(b, '\n')) != nil){
Implementing Brdstr:
./libbio/brdstr.c:36: p = Brdline(bp, delim);
The symbol names ones will cause a problem loudly if they
fail: they'll error out with symbol name too long. This means
that you can't define an enormous struct without giving the
type a name and then stick it in an interface, because the
type's symbol name will be too long for the object file.
Since this will be a loud failure instead of a silent one,
I'm willing to wait until it comes up in practice.
