This is a known (and annoying) bug which is triggered somehow by filling up
the input buffer.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to come up with a fix, so
the workaround is "don't do that".  Which is annoying, because if I have
to hit 'y' 50 times, I'd really rather hold the key down.  :(

It may be a ghc library bug, but I never was able to figure this out.
