[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55029] pause() with no arguments does not return like kbhit() with glibc 2.28

Follow-up Comment #60, bug #55029 (project octave):

@Pantxo The following quick and dirty patch fixes this issue completely for
me.

I haven't tried putting it at different places in the process, or trying to
see exactly where the EOF condition is triggered, but this particular call to
'clearerr' in the 'raw_mode' helper function fixes all problems for me.

Is this safe? Can we start from here and make something safer if needed?
