I withdraw that patch.

I tried nailing the places where setvbuf and setbuf were called on stdin
but that no longer works to eliminate the very high kernel/system time
overhead seen with pipes.

Instead, I'll figure out how to eliminate the pipes in my toolchain, unless
someone has a suggestion on where to look.
