kotlinlang

Managed to track down the cause of the problem where *readLine()* doesn't block and wait for keyboard input like one would expect. If Gradle is used to build a Kotlin project then the problem occurs. Has there been an issue filed about this? Can get *readLine()* working just fine in an ordinary Kotlin project in IntelliJ, and in the Kotlin REPL. If the IntelliJ Kotlin REPL is used in a open Gradle project, using Kotlin JVM then the same problem occurs.

Gradle Input Stream problem was first encountered in 2012 (<https://discuss.gradle.org/t/how-can-i-execute-a-java-application-that-asks-for-user-input/3264>), and does occur in Gradle 4.0. Haven't tried Gradle 4.1 to see if the problem has been solved.
