Research direction

Start by reproducing `solcjs --standard-json Example.json` and read the stack trace through `/usr/lib/node_modules/solc/solcjs`, especially the `fs.readFileSync` call. Trace how the `--standard-json` argument is handled and verify that the command completes without the reported EAGAIN read error.
