This is a backwards-incompatibility in netcat-openbsd introduced due to
bumping the netcat version to 1.130 in
a72ba661acf54d1beb2b4e306acba7d6f45621c4.
Version 1.130 no longer exits on EOF but now needs to be passed the -N
flag in order to exit on EOF.
The upstream change reads[1] like this:
Don't shutdown nc(1)'s network socket when stdin closes. Matches
*Hobbit*'s original netcat and GNU netcat; revert to old behaviour
with the new -N flag if needed. After much discussion with otto
deraadt tedu and Martin Pelikan. ok deraadt@
