_may be_ it is one more consequence of lack of IO manager in
windows/threaded RTS ( http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/637 )

try _without_ -threaded. if it don't work, you can try my I/O library:
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library/Streams

use 'vGetLine fdStdIn' in order to read lines. you should strip
chr(13) at line-end by yourself because my lib don't implements
CR+LF->LF conversion

feel free to ask me more, i'm speaking russian ;)
