I've come across this problem many times.
My usual solution is to spend 5-10 minutes adding option parsing and
arranging a -f option to my program so that it can read from a file
instead of stdin (or rather, from stdin by default, and from a file
if specified).

All the same, I agree, it would be nice to be able to do something
like the gdb trick

$ gdb ./buggy_program
....
(gdb) run < input_file
....
