[Rubyinstaller-devel] overcoming readline's cpu

[Roger Pack]

appears you can somewhat avoid the 'irb 100% cpu'
by changing lib\irb\input-method.rb

from
      def gets
        if l = readline(@prompt, false)
          ...
to
      def gets
        print @prompt
        if l = $stdin.gets
          ...

Which at least doesn't use 100% cpu :)
Wonder if any other libraries have found this weirdness with readline
+ mingw...and why it doesn't happen sometimes. Odd.  msvcrt versioning
weirdness?
