Side-effect on request() when registering multiple input-events

[stheine]

I experience a side-effect on request() when registering multiple input-events. See the following code:

const InputEvent   = require('input-event');
const request      = require('request');

// Register the callback functions
const input0    = new InputEvent('/dev/input/event0');
const keyboard0 = new InputEvent.Keyboard(input0);

const input1    = new InputEvent('/dev/input/event1');
const keyboard1 = new InputEvent.Keyboard(input1);

console.log('start request()');
request.get('http://google.com', () => {
  console.log('received result');
});

this leads to start request(), but then it hangs and received result is not reached.

if the input1/keyboard1 lines are commented out, the request() call works as expected.

why does input-event have such side-effects? and how to avoid this?
