[Gambas-user] reopen standard input

[nando]

I believe you get the EOF error because your program is wanting input
there isn't any from the sending program (through the pipe).
STDIN is always open.
You have to make sure your program won't crash due to no input available
which is what is happening here.
Data is sent through the pipe when the kernel does it, and it may not
necessarily be on a word or a line boundaries and you might believe.
Expect that the input line could have no data.
