I'm still against it, and i consider it bad style that you're
committing something that has caused opposition in the mailing lists.

You haven't even marked your change with

	/* XXX bogus */

as would be the least sign of warning.

If all your concern is avoiding input buffering, why have you never
considered doing The Right Thing and using setvbuf(3)?
