Most likely the problem is sys.stdin.readline().  I suggest taking a look
at twisted.internet.stdio as a way to eliminate your ConsoleInput class
and the uses of the reactor-private method addReader().

If I were going to try to track down the cause of the hang, I'd probably
start with strace to see where the processes are waiting.
