You can't do a read that works unless you have a program that reads
input without any buffering (note that anything using stdio doesn't
qualify; stdio will happily suck in a buffer's worth when stdin isn't
a terminal).
If you assume line, you can do a clumsy read; $bgstatus makes it much
cleaner (thank you, Byron!).
