Hrm, I think my description of the problem was inadequate. I was thinking
of the output side, where the refresh() call could be blocking while
writing to the terminal. I understand that this will only seldom cause
problems, but I'd like my application to continue running even if the user
pressed ^S. The "trivial" solution would be a multithreaded app, but I'd
like to avoid that for portability reasons.
