Simple test case which demonstrates the bug

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.16)
Gecko/20110319 Firefox/3.6.16

Calling Console.ReadKey() in a program which has redirected stdout results in
mono using 90% or over CPU for the duration of that program.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile attached test case:
   gmcs /t:exe /debug+ /out:ConsoleTest.exe ConsoleTest.cs
2. Run:
   mono ConsoleTest.exe > out.txt
3. Check cpu usage:
   ps -aux
Actual Results:  
The test process is shown as using 90% or higher cpu

Expected Results:  
The test is idle so should be using 0% (or close) cpu.
I've confirmed that this is the case for the same test compiled using csc on
Windows.

I've reproduced this using Debian Wheezy, both on x86 and ARM.
