 To reproduce:
 - start a windows console
 - change the console's font to a ttf unicode font, like "Lucida Console".
 - type "chcp 65001" to set it to the UTF-8 code page.
 - start ghci (same error appears when running compiled executable)
 - > import System.IO (or GHC.IO.Handle)
 - > enc <- mkTextEncoding "UTF8"
 - > hSetEncoding stdin enc
 - > getLine
 - > Фывфыв (or any international unicode sequence)
 *** Exception: <stdin>: hGetLine: end of file
