I'm not suggesting to change stdio, I'm suggesting to change pkgrm code to use 
"read(0, buf, 1);"
in loop to read 1 byte from standard input until the end of line or EOF 
happens. 
Basically it is the same loop as it uses to write its questions:

12580:    write(2, " D", 1)                = 1
12580:    write(2, " o", 1)                = 1
12580:    write(2, "  ", 1)                = 1
12580:    write(2, " y", 1)                = 1
12580:    write(2, " o", 1)                = 1
12580:    write(2, " u", 1)                = 1
12580:    write(2, "  ", 1)                = 1
...

In this case it will leave the pointer in the input file at the beginning of 
next line,
so the child process will read from this point.

Thanks,
Nik
