Description:
------------
any php-file which is larger that 16Kb will result in parse error on Mac OS X, if run as following:
cat largefile.php|php -l

while the following options will work:
php -l largefile.php
php -l < largefile.php

"-l" flag is optional. it can be reproduced without it too

I discussed this with Rasmus (he was able to reproduce this problem too), and he mentioned, that this bug is most likely re2c-related

Expected result:
----------------
No syntax errors detected in -

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected $end in ?

I had a quick look at this bug and found the problem to be in Zend/zend_stream.c function zend_stream_fsize(): It uses fstat() to determine the filesize which on MacOS X for pipes returns either 0 (my interpretation: no data from the pipe ready yet) or a number up to 16384 (my interpretation: data from the pipe ready but the maximum buffer size is 16k).

I see several solutions but I'm not sure which is the desired one:
- return 0 (size unknown) if the file is a pipe (or socket, ...)
- return 0 if the file is not a regular file (or symlink, dir?)
- look into a way of determining EOF reached

As a quick test I changed
	return buf.st_size;
in function zend_stream_fsize() to
	return 0;
and cat 30k.php | php worked after that.

I posted this to internals@php.net but did not get any reply so I'm not sure how to proceed.
