 Hmm, of course - this is EOF (from src/lib/libc/stdio/rget.c).

 So, I looked at the CenterIM code, and discovered the getkey() function in
 kkconsui/src/conscommon.cc.  This is doing really horrible things to stdin.
 I'm amazed that it works anywhere.  Probably throwing most of that away will
 make things work.
 
 Thanks,
