<p dir="auto">consider the following sequence of commands, using <code>certtool</code> from GnuTLS 3.6.6:</p>
<pre class="code highlight js-syntax-highlight plaintext" lang="plaintext" v-pre="true"><code><span id="LC1" class="line" lang="plaintext">certtool --generate-privkey > x.pem</span>
<span id="LC2" class="line" lang="plaintext">echo | certtool --load-privkey x.pem --generate-self-signed</span></code></pre>
<p dir="auto">this produces the following text on stderr:</p>
<pre class="code highlight js-syntax-highlight plaintext" lang="plaintext" v-pre="true"><code><span id="LC1" class="line" lang="plaintext">Generating a self signed certificate...</span>
<span id="LC2" class="line" lang="plaintext">Please enter the details of the certificate's distinguished name. Just press enter to ignore a field.</span>

<span id="LC4" class="line" lang="plaintext">E-mail: Enter the certificate's serial number in decimal (123) or hex (0xabcd)</span>

<p dir="auto">the last line continues forever.</p>
<p dir="auto">I recognize that feeding the interactive mode with an EOF is user input error, but <code>certtool</code> should still not produce infinite spew as a result.</p>
