I have a little application which uses the HighLine 1.2.0 gem: it's worked
perfectly under Windows and Linux. When invoked in Mac OS X, however, I get:
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/highline-1.2.0/lib/highline.rb:576:in
`get_line': The input stream is exhausted. (EOFError)
from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/highline-1.2.0/lib/highline.rb:596:in
`get_response'

This is ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i686-darwin8.5.2].

HighLine is developed on OS X, so it *should* work OK there.

This error was added recently as a "feature", to allow user code to detect the end of a stream. (It was intended mainly for scripts reading from STDIN and wanting to notice a control-D/control-z keystroke.)

I'd be happy to hear any ideas.
Can you show me a simple example of how you are feeding the script input when the error is triggered and the HighLine code involved? (You can email me privately, so we don't disturb the list with our bug hunt.)
