When trying to read in passwords, if an EOF is provided at the beginning
of a line, read_password goes into an infinite loop asking for input, not
reading from the terminal and complaining about a bad password. I fixed
this by clearing the EOF flag whenever an error occurs reading a password.
This doesn't change the looping structure, i.e. it will continue to ask
for passwords, but it lets the user input something.
