Bug description

Full_Name: Mike Talbot
Version: 3.07+2
OS: Linux 2.4.25
Submission from: abg-dwalsh.abingdon.geoquest.slb.com (134.32.10.96)

Since upgrading from 3.06 (I think) I have found a problem with the following
piece of code:

while true do
Scanf.scanf " %u " (fun x ->())
done

If I run this program and enter a few numbers, followed by ^D (or just attach
stdin to /dev/null) I get the following error:

Exception:
Scanf.Scan_failure "scanf: bad input at char number 0: decimal digit".

However, if I replace the %u with %i and repeat the test I get the following
(expected) message:

Exception: End_of_file.
