Such a file is NOT a malformed text-file; that definition is a UNIX-
ism and therefore applicable ONLY to the UNIX/LINUX world. In Windows,
for example, a user in Notepad (or wordpad, or any other editor) can
save a text-file without such a termination (as Adam points out) and
it IS a valid text-file precisely because Windows does not define a
text-file in that manner. (IIRC all that Windows needs is the ASCII
EOF character.)
