Crashes terminal on OS X and refuses subsequent input after prompting more than once (Node 8 only)

There's an issue in Node 8 with apps that ask the user for input. The first input works fine, but afterwards, with subsequent input requests, the user can't type anything into the terminal window anymore, and even CTRL-C is not responding, forcing you to close the window.

At first I thought the issue might be with the package prompt that I was using, so I switched to inquirer and found it was affected as well. When I then tried to create an isolated test case, I found that the issue affects npm init as well.

The first input works ok, but then when asked for the version, you can't press ENTER anymore and the terminal refuses any subsequent input:

When switching back to Node 7.10.0 it works as expected again, so it definitely seems like a core Node issue.

Happy to provide further information if needed, but it is fairly easy to reproduce with npm init.

This will be fixed in the upcoming v8.1.1 release. Specifically, it is already fixed by #13560.

@mscdex thank you, I tried to search for an existing issue but couldn't find one
