line eater, the n. obs.   [Usenet] 1. A bug in some now-obsolete    versions of the netnews software that used to eat up to BUFSIZ bytes    of the article text.   The bug was triggered by having the text of    the article start with a space or tab.   This bug was quickly    personified as a mythical creature called the `line eater', and    postings often included a dummy line of `line eater food'.    Ironically, line eater `food' not beginning with a space or tab    wasn't actually eaten, since the bug was avoided; but if there _was_    a space or tab before it, then the line eater would eat the food    _and_ the beginning of the text it was supposed to be protecting.    The practice of `sacrificing to the line eater' continued for some    time after the bug had been {nailed to the wall}, and is still    humorously referred to.   The bug itself was still occasionally    reported to be lurking in some mail-to-netnews gateways as late as    1991.   2. See {NSA line eater}.
