"Input stream exhausted" error on autosign command

[rtkmhart]

I was getting this error when running autosign:

$ chef-ssl autosign --ca-path ~/tmp/mysubca --ca-name="Chef Test CA" --trace

Sign this? (yes or no)

I worked around this by adding this line to client-gem/lib/chef-ssl/command.rb:234

HighLine.track_eof = false

I suspect it's my Mac, lots of articles about this error on mac. My specific environment:
OSX 10.8.2
ruby -v: ruby 1.8.7 (2012-02-08 patchlevel 358) [universal-darwin12.0]
highline: 1.6.15

Not looking for a fix, just putting it here in case anyone else runs into it.

We don't see this, even on the Mac, though our Chef environment is exclusively Ruby 1.9.2. I'll definitely experiment with this though as it seems there's demand for 1.8 compatibility (see #4).

Thanks for the feedback!
