How to do line oriented i/o in constant space?

Hi,

I feel somewhat guilty for spreading (in the FAQ) the use of halt() in
stand-along programs, e.g.

I'm about to put out a new release of the FAQ and was going to change
all occurences of halt() to init:stop(). The latter is a graceful
shutdown, as compared to halt's 'kill -9' behaviour. Before I do 
that, any comments?
