Good, I honestly don't understand why it works ;-)

Resuming the monitor should not allow monitor commands to execute until 
you get to the main loop.  I looked through the readline code and that 
seems to confirm that, but perhaps you had sent monitor input already 
and it was buffered?  So that it was just awaiting the opportunity to 
execute the command (no IO needed).
