Nope. It consumes the correct ammount of lines. The problem is that I
have to give it a kick (^D) to start things twice. The first for
__parse_patch() and the second for _input(). I put some debug-prints in
there and the for-loops will not start executing on the first complete
line, only EOF.

If it supports everything when given a filename then shouldn't adding a
preprocessing step to dump stdin to disk give the same code path?
