Hi!

I use npm 1.1.1 and the `npm init` in interactive mode has at least two problems (if it's not somehow me or my system):

1. Every 2nd interactive input finishes after 1 character and npm init asks for the next one
2. basic libedit/readline functionality missing (i.e. backspace is a must)

Below you have both problems in a sample:

```
gabriel$ npm init
Package name: (npminit) mono
