1. emacs -Q -batch --eval '(message "%s" (read-string "ASDF: "))'
2. Type RET at the prompt, without entering any text.

Emacs signals an error:

Error reading from stdin

    and the surrounding thread.
    * minibuf.c (read_minibuf_noninteractive): Rewrite to use getchar
    rather than fgets, and retry after EINTR.  Otherwise, 'emacs
    --batch -f byte-compile-file' fails on OpenBSD if an inactivity
    timer goes off.
