getChar doesn't work on a new Windows build
Last night I updated my PC to the 14965 Windows insider build. Today I notice that `getLine` no longer terminates (pressing enter just goes to a new line), but I'm suspecting that the root cause it that `getChar` returns `'\NUL'` no mather what is input. I've tried this both GHCi and in a compiled program. This is only broken if I set my codepage to 65001 (UTF-8). If I set it to something like 850 it works as it should. <details><summary>Trac metadata</summary> | Trac field | Value | | ---------------------- | -------------- | | Version | 7.10.3 | | Type | Bug | | TypeOfFailure | OtherFailure | | Priority | normal | | Resolution | Unresolved | | Component | Runtime System | | Test case | | | Differential revisions | | | BlockedBy | | | Related | | | Blocking | | | CC | simonmar | | Operating system | | | Architecture | | </details> <!-- {"blocked_by":[],"summary":"getChar doesn't work on a new Windows build","status":"New","operating_system":"","component":"Runtime System","related":[],"milestone":"","resolution":"Unresolved","owner":{"tag":"Unowned"},"version":"7.10.3","keywords":[],"differentials":[],"test_case":"","architecture":"","cc":["simonmar"],"type":"Bug","description":"Last night I updated my PC to the 14965 Windows insider build.
