Hi, uutils mainteners

a very important weird bug hidden for years and not discovered with the uutils join our testing confirm that

relunsec@relunsec:~/software/coreutils/target/debug$ ./join -e EMPTYLINE a a
hello




































relunsec@relunsec:~/software/coreutils/target/debug$ 

as you can see the argument ignored and nothing applied as you can the gnu one join work fine

relunsec@relunsec:~/software/coreutils/target/debug$ gnujoin -e EMPTYLINE a a
