Problem with `while-no-input' |

Hello,
A question to `while-no-input':
I tried this short test-code:
(defun klaus-test-input ()
(interactive)
(let ((result nil)
(i 0))
(setq result (while-no-input
(while t
(setq i (1+ i)))))
(message "Klaus: %s" result)))
I expected this to being interrupted by any user-interaction (e.g. keypress
etc..)
and setting result to t according to the docstring of `while-no-input':
while-no-input is a Lisp macro in `subr.el'.
(while-no-input &rest body)
Execute body only as long as there's no pending input.
If input arrives, that ends the execution of body,
and `while-no-input' returns t. Quitting makes it return nil.
If body finishes, `while-no-input' returns whatever value body produced.
But only C-g interrupts this code but not pressing any key like 'a' etc...
Have i overlooked something or have i misunderstood the documentation of
`while-no-input'? Have i misinterpreted the sentence "If input arrives,
that ends the execution of body, and `while-no-input' returns t" or what
I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!
I tried this with Emacs 22.0.50.1 compiled on 29.1.2006 for Windows....
Ciao,
Klaus
