My patch did attempt to return (mostly) to using the "old
SOCKET_ZERO_ISNT_STDIN" code, moved to support.c.  I guess you are
suggesting that it go all the way and do the character-by-character input
processing, right?

The "fileno() stuff" is an addition to get SOCKET_ZERO_ISNT_STDIN code to
work for the first time on Linux -- it never did, before.

I should have added a configure test for fileno(), but got lazy.  I'll do
this and post an updated patch.
