This is probably a bit of a noobish question, but since most recently updating TextMate I've been having problems making programs which require input run correctly through TextMate. Before the recent update I had no problems.
For example, if I write a simple C program such as the following (getchar.c):
#include <stdio.h>
int main() { printf("Please type a character:\n"); printf("You entered %c", getchar()); return 0; }
and then hit Command-R to run the program, TextMate doesn't bother to ask me to type anything but just defaultly takes EOF as its input. Before updating, TextMate would come up with a dialogue box telling me that input was required, with the option to send EOF to the program, but this no longer happens.
The above program runs fine in terminal, via "gcc getchar.c; ./getchar.c.out" for instance.
The problem persists with other languages too, such as Ruby. Presumably there must be a simple way to fix it. Has a setting that tells TextMate what to take as STDIN been changed?
Thanks in advance.

This feature was disabled because it caused problems under Snow Leopard. The blog http://blog.macromates.com/2009/interactive-input/ features a more thorough explanation and instructions how to revert to a version containing the interactive input feature.
