The example is just some terrible C code that runs fgets in a loop.

When I try something similar with guile and (@ (ice-9 rdelim) read-line) it seems to block forever at the "last" line.
 From the C example that last line seems to be missing a terminating newline and I am thinking read-line cannot handle this situation when the deliminator is just EAGAIN so the port is never handed of to fibers (fport_read which was erroring before seems to return -1  in this case as a ssize_t cast to size_t which also seems wrong ).

Further investigation required.
