Regardless of whether or not it's a good idea, the documentation for
read says it should work:
"Read up to N bytes from standard input stream If stream is
linebuffered, will return at EOL, for files it will read
MIN(MAX(avail, N), 65535) bytes. Warning: This is a quick hack."
Unless I'm reading that incorrectly?
