Fixed by ensuring that the new console reader thread has a chance to acquire a lock on the console inputstream. This is more or less done by ensuring that the previous reader thread shuts down cleanly.

The available() method is used to detect if a blocking read() should be performed on the console inputstream. This prevents/reduces the possibility of the reader thread from blocking on the console during a Forge restart triggered by a plugin installation. Additionally, during shutdown of the console, the reader thread is interrupted should it have acquired a monitor on the console inputstream, thus allowing for a clean shutdown.
