Thanks for reporting this.  It turned out to be a Win32 (really, MinGW)
specific problem where std::cin was returning EOF early after the
standard I/O streams had been unsynchronized with a call to
sync_with_stdio(false) when feed input that contained DOS newlines.

The correct solution for this needs a fix in MinGW.  For now, I've
committed a change to mainline (rev. fc87df) to work around this
problem.
