R is warning you that the file may be incomplete. In Unix, text files
are supposed to always end with a newline. Windows programs often omit
it on the last line. So on Unix, R is probably right to warn you, but
it could well be a false positive if you're on Windows.

How you deal with missing values really depends on what you want to do
with the data. There's no general answer.
