Arch Linux

Description:
I have a simple program that runs as 'journalctl -f | myProgram'
myProgram.c
int main(void) {
char buffer[256];
while( fges( buffer, 256, stdin ) ) {
}
printf( "stdin pipe closed?" );
}

and when running a program with stdin redirected, fgets returns NULL when there is no more data. (Jounralctl manages to put data in stdout before the program loads, but not sure what the threshold is).

I manually updated back to 2.28-5 ( and lib32-2.28-5 ) and the problem went away.

Although; it still doesn't tail a file... shouldn't fgets wait if there's someone writing to a file? Doesn't matter, tail -f can fix it...

journalctl -f > somefile & tail -f somefile | program

works with 2.28-5 and fails (ends at end of journal data) on 2.29-1


Additional info:
* package version(s)
2.29-1
2.28-5
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any
(should be one; but am posting here as an advisory)
Steps to reproduce:
compile above program, and pipe something that shouldn't end... like tail -f /var/log/messages | program.
