[phobos] stdin.byChunk seems broken

Given the sample:
import std.algorithm, std.concurrency, std.stdio;
void main()
{
enum bufferSize = 1;
auto tid = spawn( &fileWriter );
// Read loop
/+ BUG: stdio can't handle the immutable buffer
foreach( immutable(ubyte)[] buffer; stdin.byChunk( bufferSize ) )
send( tid, buffer );
+/
foreach( const(ubyte)[] buffer; stdin.byChunk( bufferSize ) )
send( tid, buffer );
}
void fileWriter()
{
// Write loop
for( ; ; )
{
// BUG: stdio can't handle the immutable buffer
//auto buffer = receiveOnly!(immutable(ubyte)[])();
auto buffer = receiveOnly!(const(ubyte)[])();
writeln( "rx: ", buffer.field[0] );
}
}
The output I see is:
abacus:tdpl sean$ ch13_7
aaaa
rx: 10
rx: 10
rx: 10
rx: 10
rx: 10
^C
abacus:tdpl sean$
Why if I send 4 'a' characters do I receive 5 \n characters? Seems like the last character in the buffer is being copied over the preceding data. I just thought I'd mention this in case someone has the time and inclination to look into it.
