Public bug reported: I made a mistake when invoking sha1sum -c where I accidentally passed in a sha256 checksum. It did not report any error message to me instead it waited for input without alerting me to the problem.
Steps to reproduce: Run "sha1sum -c" without any additional args in a terminal window. (So it reads checksums and filenames from stdin). Paste into the terminal a valid SHA256 checksum and a filename that is present. expected: Error message "sha1sum: 'standard input': no properly formatted SHA1 checksum lines found" actual: No output.
