Should already be in 6.02.1 - add the -threaded flag when linking, and
you'll get the "threaded rts" which uses native thread to make sure
that (safe) ffi calls don't block.
Waiting for a character sounds like a job for the standard input
routines, and they should support concurrency even without the threaded
RTS, but I don't know about the windows version.
Cheers,
