[xmonad] Two dashes freeze shellPrompt

[Dunric]

I can reproduce this issue even in darcs versions of xmonad & 
xmonad-contrib.
I also can confirm it does depend on current locales. If UTF-8 locales 
are set, shellPrompt hangs 100% of times after two dashes are typed in.
If running under a non-UTF-8 locales like LANG="en_US", LC_ALL="en_US", 
shellPrompt doesn't stop working.

Bug could be fixed as a side-effect of Encoding task force (see 
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=348 for details)
