Not for me, GHC 5.04.2 (Solaris).

here it goes right the first time, but then i have to type two more letters (in this case 'b\n') to get it to respond to "hello".

Solaris has a slightly bizarre buffering scheme in "raw" terminal mode, whereby it buffers 4 characters at a time, instead of passing on each character immediately. Try stty -icanon min 1 (or something similar) to fix it? Regards, Malcolm
