I'm trying to port a C application to D. The problem I have is 
interacting with the console. I'm using the POSIX "read" function, the 
problem is that in the D version the "read" function seems to never 
return. The C version works fine and prints "**********" after I press a 
key. I've created a small test case for the problem below:

D code: http://pastebin.com/SsYZcjMG
C code: http://pastebin.com/QyprKD17

Is suspect that it's something in the "initterm" function that isn't 
working properly. Any ideas?

I'm using DMD 2.058 on Mac OS X.

If anyone else is interested, I finally find the problem. Some types 
used by the termios struct was incorrectly declared resulting in the 
wrong size on 64bit.

I've created a pull request for this in druntime:
