In the version I was looking at, if I change the server's output
{-- IO.hPutStr hdl "response" --} to "response\n", it works. Otherwise
hGetLine will still be polling for the newline that will never come.

In the present case I believe we'd be talking about
Network.Socket.ByteString.recv. With a POSIX device like a pipe,
then System.Posix.IO.fdRead.
