You could change the IF to
`if(line.length > 0 && line[0] == '>')`
Thanks, Norm. That seemed to do the trick and fixed the error.

HOWEVER, the output is interesting. There IS a blank line
between the last line and the prompt:
That's because you're using write*ln*. So even though line is
empty, you still output a new line.
Curious. I am going to have to think about that for a bit as I
don't quite understand.

You can do:
if (!line.length) {
continue;
}
Inside your while loop after the call to strip.
Thanks, aliak! I think this is similar to Norm's suggestion in
that I need to check for a non-zero line length before continuing.
What's funny now is that I get two blank lines after the output
and before the prompt:
$ ./readfile
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line 5
$
Ultimately, I think the original suggestions by you and lithium
iodate about there being an empty line at the end is probably the
culprit. I will have to investigate that further.
Thank you to everyone that chimed in to help me out!
