Change this code added in da93d12b004 (pack-objects: be incredibly anal about stdio semantics, 2006-04-02) to use BUG() instead.

See 1a07e59c3e2 (Update messages in preparation for i18n, 2018-07-21) for when the "BUG: " prefix was added, and [1] for background on the Solaris behavior that prompted the exhaustive error checking in this fgets() loop.
