Maybe I am missing your point but the buffering in the mock client is
certainly delaying the complete process.  Also, I did not only add
that line to mock.rb but provided a different client implementation.
Did you actually try it out?

Well, you can imagine that I did not want to post 1,000,000 lines
here.  Do the errors you report show up with my code when increasing
the number of lines?

I usually start with a simple bit to verify the basic functionality is
ok and build from there.  I do not understand, why you go to all this
fd duplicating stuff.  Also, I find your processor quite complex and
it seems that for the error you are seeing a simpler program will be
sufficient.

Btw, what does "writing causes stdin to be read into the program" exactly mean?

Cheers
