[jon baer]

that was more or less what I had come up with but I had noticed that passing
say an argument for reading php://stdin when there was no content would just
hang.  So if someone did:
php blah.php blah
-instead of-
cat <file> | php blah.php blah
the feof is never read, im trying to determine if it has to do with the
option 'auto_detect_line_endings'
