Hmm, I already noticed this behavior on ubuntu 6.10. It seems there's a 
timeout that doesn't exist with previous version. In my case, if I don't 
press a key within n minutes, it breaks...

Is it the same for you ?
I didn't find where they defined this default value. It should be 
possible to override it by using  TMOUT :

<<
If set to a value greater than zero, TMOUT  is  treated  as  the 
        default timeout for the read builtin.  The select command 
terminates if input does not arrive after TMOUT seconds when input is 
coming  from  a terminal.  In an interactive shell, the value is 
interpreted as the number of seconds to  wait  for  input  after issuing 
  the  primary prompt.  Bash terminates after waiting for that number of 
seconds if input does not arrive.

But, I didn't try it.
