Have you tried to print out the lines that are actually processed by
genskyvec when it is running? The "validation" in the above code is very
basic and will also fail if genskyvec does not receive any input at all.

Here is a link to a MS KB that affects STDIN of scripts (it's very old,
though):

I don't know if genskyvec can read from a file but you could add this
feature if necessary and use a temporary file to store your sky
description. Then use genskyvec in a second subprocess to read and process
the file.
