Fixed infinite loop for checking terminal space as discussed in PR

- All the checks are in the `waitForTerminalSpace` function
- It tries to run the program directly if the width is positive
- It then sleeps 50 milliseconds the first time if the width is zero
- If after the first sleep, the terminal width is still zero, it prints the waiting time to stderr and will keep on doing so with increasing sleep times.
