[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55029] pause causes hang

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #47, bug #55029 (project octave):

Another observation, the kbtest.m script works repeatedly as long as the
character is entered during the pause. But if kbhit(0) is called ever without
anything in the stdin input buffer, all subsequent calls to kbhit return
nothing. So this agrees with what I observed with the debugger, that pause is
stuck in the loop where it calls octave::kbhit, and the return value continues
to be -1, it never sees any more input on stdin. So this may have something to
do with the glibc change mentioned in the release notes, that an error state
at some layer needs to be reset by the application.
