Do you mean something like:
echo "ps uf" | script
.. if yes, then it's pretty unexpected usage. The code expects that
stdin is terminal. (For example it copy the current terminal
attributes the new pseudo-terminal.)
Unfortunately it does not check tcgetatt() return code so the problem
is not visible. I'll fix it.

Yep, I think it would be enough to add
kill(0, SIGTERM);
before done() in doinput() to avoid orphans.
