Comment(by lastobelus@…):

 this also causes a crash:

 {{{
 t = Thread.new { STDIN.read(1) }
 t.kill

 }}}

 however, for reading multibyte characters correctly a workaround is to
 take advantage of the fact that STDIN.read behaves differently on macruby
 than on standard ruby, sending an EOF after each character.  So:

 {{{
 STDIN.read(3)
 }}}

 will return immediately for a single key press but will capture all 3
 characters of control keys
