Subject: STDIN.pos

Hi --

A little change between 1.6.8 and >1.8:

  $ /usr/local/src/ruby-1.6.8/ruby -ve 'STDIN.pos'
  ruby 1.6.8 (2002-12-16) [i686-linux]

  $ ruby-cvs/bin/ruby -ve 'STDIN.pos'
  ruby 1.9.0 (2004-02-29) [i686-linux]
  -e:1:in `pos': Illegal seek (Errno::ESPIPE)
	  from -e:1

This has, ummm, rather serious implications for scanf's behavior with
STDIN.  I don't know which behavior is considered right.  (I'm hoping
it's the first one....)
