What were you trying to do?
  use MH utilities (msgchk, inc...)

What's wrong:
  if the last line in .mh_profile isn't terminated by a newline, MH
  utilities get stuck in an infinite loop.

What should have happened:
  It should have read mh_profile and assumed the newline.

  Failing that, it should have given a descriptive error message.

  Failing that, it should not have gotten stuck in an infinite loop.

  Failing that, it should have been documented in mh-profile(5).

  Failing that, the source should have been commented better.  =)

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
  mh-profile(5)
  /source/third/common/mh-6.6/{uip,sbr}/*.c
