Hmm... it seems you're kind of right. It doesn't need the patch twice.
But it needs EOF more than once. The for-loop in __parse_patch() doesn't
start until the EOF is recieved. And the second for-loop in _input()
requires a new EOF.

If you would cache the input to a file (or memory) you would remove both
of these problems.
