There are many reasons why one could end up with text in a terminal that doesn't end in a newline. A couple of them are: - An app is killed in the middle of writing its output (eg: because of a sigterm/sigkill). - A file that isn't a POSIX text file is printed to the terminal. So I think this should still be handled by bash.
