 Re-read your script, you have 2 threads : the main thread waiting that
 `thr' finish  and `thr' waiting for reading a character or EOF.

 They are blocked : even if the read is non-blocking, the control is given
 to the main thread (which wait for the termination of `thr') which give
 the control to `thr' (which try to read a character) which give the
 control to the main thread (which wait for the termination of `thr'), etc
