TestRawInput() failed frequently.

TestRawInput looks like have a significant issue.
Sometimes I can reproduce on my local environment.

--- FAIL: TestRawInput (0.00s)
	builtin_types_test.go:522: func1('HelloGrumpy\n', '') raised EOFError('EOF when reading a line',), want <nil>
Exception: foo

I worked on this for a little while but haven't yet figured out the problem. I was able to reproduce it more reliably if my machine was under load, e.g. by running tests in parallel.

There's two issues. The first is that these lines need to handle EOF explicitly:

	line, err := Stdin.reader.ReadString('\n')
	if err != nil {
		return nil, f.RaiseType(EOFErrorType, "EOF when reading a line")
	}

Should be something like:

	line, err := Stdin.reader.ReadString('\n')
	if err != nil && err != io.EOF {
		return nil, f.RaiseType(IOErrorType, err.Error())
	}
        if line == "" {
                return nil, f.RaiseType(EOFErrorType, "EOF when reading a line")
        }

When you do this you find that the error is actually "bad file". So Stdin is getting closed or something in the mean time. But I couldn't figure out why.

The test seems to be failing a lot more frequently on Travis lately, so I commented out the test in google@a76caef until it's fixed.
