Well, that's what you get when you redirect stdin to null:
 
$ rm -i *
remove a? n
remove b? n
remove c? n
$ rm -i * </dev/null
remove a? remove b? remove c? $
 

Yeah; only that I haven't any [explicit] redirection of stdin (let
alone a redirection to /dev/null).

But your suggestion reminds me to inspect the strace log; maybe I'll
find any hints on that...
