I think the problem is on the sending end; once the input pipe is 
closed, it's closed for all the programs in the pipe chain.  I just 
tried this with Perl and the second program just immediately got EOF 
as well.  I assume reading the tty/pty (whether directly or through 
some library) is the only way this can reliably be done.
