Describe the other scenario please...

Hmm, can you exclude this is some X11 problem? I get problems in my Opera
browser when a Java applet is started (which makes a Java progress window
appear for a while). No, I'm not joking. Please try getting the same thing
inside normal consoles, or getting the same thing with xterms and without
UML.

? I don't think stdin is flushable (but I don't understand what you mean, so I
could be wrong).

Hmm, line_setup_irq makes sure that a IRQ is triggered when a event is
received on the fd. That fd is provided by the channel driver (the one in
con=xterm/pty/fd).
