proposed patch

What I think is happening, is that StreamReader.ReadLine is only searching the
first 1024 chars for the newline, as that is the default buffer size.  The
FileStream is using 8192 bytes of buffer, so is reading the pipe in 8192 byte
chunks.  If the last chunk happens to arrive in a read > 1024 the StreamReader
tries to read again, which obviously blocks forever waiting for more data.  So
it's not buffering per se that is the problem, it's mismatched buffering
between two classes.

The proposed patch matches the StreamReader and FileStream buffer sizes, and
seems to work for me.
