I already explained it twice. :)

Take a file with no newline at the end. Do this:

while read line ; do
	echo $line
done < badfile

The last line will not be "seen" by the shell because of the missing
newline.

Portmaster, and other tools, use this method extensively to read those
files, and this issue causes those tools to break while processing those
files.
