Why isn't concat-stream working with process.stdin.pipe()?

Here's my code:

var concat = require('concat-stream');
process.stdin.pipe(concat(function(){console.log("output")}));

What I'm expecting this to do is output "output" every time I enter input into the console, but this doesn't work. Does anyone have an idea why this isn't working? If I do a fs.createReadStream() buffer, it works fine, just not with process.stdin.pipe(). I've used process.stdin.pipe() for other things though, and they worked fine.

Thanks in advance!

The reason you get no output is because you're not actually closing stdin, which is what concat-stream is looking for so that it knows no more data is coming.
