i've found one problem: for some reason it tries to read more that 1 char after 
setting the terminal to 1-at-a-time. the place is in the file src/unix.c, line 
number 2337(?). it reads:

(size_t)(INBUFLEN - inbufcount));

it should read

sizeof(char));

however, that does not solve the problem completely :(
