Does anyone know why we use the custom "LineInputStream" class instead of, say, BufferedReader here? At one point BufferedReader.readLine() was buggy and could "read too much" and block before returning a line, but I believe we have fixed that. Code re-use would help to avoid bugs like this ;-)
Erm, because LineInputStream is an InputStream dealing with bytes, and
BufferedReader is a Reader dealing with chars.
Why is this distinction important? We are converting the result to chars (well, a String) anyway.
