If you look at the *input/output of a.out* buffer, does it contain any
text?

Also, when you say that read_key_sequence keeps returning, what is its
return value?  Also, when read_key_sequence returns early, what is the
value returned by read_char at keyboard.c:9341?

Also, is it possible for you to provide a copy of the problematic
program, or is it not allowed?
