Youy could try sending a read request to the tty and then at the start of 
the loop and then break if necessary. I`d sugest you take a look
at the streams section of you're code. In any case a program like that 
would do busy-looping, ie on smaller machines waste one helluva lot of cpu
time, even so much that it would be easily noticable.
