Ah, thanks for pointing that out. No changes were made to the log

I'm not sure what you mean by upstream or where I would report this -
do you mean to the package author?

I have added two tests for stdin now, and I think the tests are
finished now, barring if a new bug snuck in. Thanks for the support.
If all goes well, will check what I can do about some of the other

to tackle do you think?
Best,
