At a guess, your "split" is too strict and requires the entire input in
order to do anything, so you'd need control-D on Unix or control-Z on
Windows to mark the end of the input stream.

You might prefer to use the functions from the "split" package on Hackage
(cabal install split) which are appropriately lazy.
