I am no pro myself :)

I added code to re-try the read but it looks like stdin is actually
been closed on timeout.
I have re-searched Go for some indication of a timeout but can't find
anything. On the Go OS package side (FreeBSD 8.3) there is also no
indication of a timeout.

I have added more debugging so lets see what else i can pick up on.
