Ah, ok. I see your point. And it's a good point. But I still don't want 
to stuff the whole Apache access_log into a variable as that might blow 
up in our face if the logfile snippet is large. And that might easily 
happen.

So how about this:

https://devel.blueonyx.it/trac/changeset/4464/

In that change I moved the whole (first) GoAccess parsing block behind 
any STDIN processing and that runs off the (copied) logfile itself 
anyway and doesn't need STDIN anyway.

I think that should work better.
