Technically, SBCL's READ-CHAR-NO-HANG is broken on Windows and apparently nobody is motivated to fix that.

Ok, i'll look intently at it.

We don't allow this kind of conditional code in the portable parts of Swank.  Implementation dependent stuff goes to swank-sbcl.lisp.  In this case that means a patch for WAIT-FOR-INPUT would be more interesting.

Actually i've posted my "patch" here not for merging to mainline code. It's just the temporary solution for anyone who met the same trouble and need a fast fix. WBR, Gleb Golubitsky
