The latter was also fixed in OpenJDK b34 or b35, being part of HotSpot
(not sure which as it isn't documented in the lists for these build drops,
and we went from b33 to b35).

Spp.java is preferable in the long term, as it removes the reported
problems with
shells like /bin/dash.  Note that the current CVS of GNU Classpath has
fixes that
will allow this to work unmodified, and these fixes are being ported
for GCJ 4.4.
The patch is only needed for the current status quo.

I did find it rather strange that java.util.Scanner was used not for
its scanner facilities
but simply as an input stream! It made the replacement simple though,
so I'm not complaining :)
