Most likely, you have a bug in your program elsewhere that causes
memory corruption, and it only shows up under some circumstances.

Post your code (or preferably, the smallest subset of your code
that shows the problem).

You would have to create a background processing thread, or
use a system-specific function that can poll the keyboard
without waiting.
