stdin is more or less a file stream, like reading from a large file.
In theory, I suppose if you can't address past 2 gig, you could run
into that problem, I don't remember off the top of my head how the
seeking on that works.  Its been awhile since I've done file IO in C.
Too much java lately :)

Anyone?
