 I did write a fix for this (using a resizable ring-buffer) before I decided that the
 JDK is wrong to implement this behavior. For some applications, blocking stdin is a
 good thing. Although many JDKs _don't_ block, this isn't specified by any spec or
 documentation, so I think its best to keep things as they are.
