          Issue ID: 24557
           Summary: File.readln does not properly handle case where last
                    character in terminator is repeated
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: phobos
          Assignee: nobody@puremagic.com
          Reporter: zopsicle@use.startmail.com

Consider the following program:

-----
import std.stdio : readln, writefln;

void main()
{
    char[] buf;
    readln(buf, "ABA");
    writefln!"%(%s%)"([buf]);
}
-----

Compiled and run as follows:

-----
$ dmd example.d
$ printf 'XABAY' | ./example
-----

Expected output: "XABA"
Actual output: "XABAY"

readln does not properly handle the case where the last character of the terminator (in this case A) appears multiple times in the terminator (in this case, A also appears at the front of the terminator).
