Description

While using the cmd function, I'm trying to send an empty string (''). In this case I receive "> > " without any newline characters.
Instead if I send any character (e.g. "a") I obtain something like "> a\n> "

Why in the first case the newline is removed or not present? any idea?

Research direction

Start by locating the cmd function in the Ruby net-telnet code and reproduce the reported difference between sending an empty string and sending "a". Trace how each response is handled, then verify that the empty-string case has the expected newline behavior.
