ee does the same. The reason is that the program does not check for EOF on stdin, it continuously loops. It's a bug in the program. The thing that could have been changed is a signal from the shell that is no longer sent or so. The problem is the program, not the OS. It might be wortwhile to find the problem, solve and send the patch to the maintainer of the port and the original author.
