If I call "main" in ghci, my program runs as it should, but if I try
compiling it, and then running the result of that compilation, i.e.:

unexpected things occur, particularly "getChar" does not work correctly, and
When you say 'getchar does not work correctly', exactly what do you
mean? I'm not sure of the problem, but this smells to me of something
having to do with buffering and/or newline characters not getting
handled properly.
I'm thinking termios is in line mode still. System.Posix.Terminal is what he needs.
