What's up with Input?

Hello!
What is up with Input in v 3.0?
I have several notebooks written in v 2.2 and they work fine
after converting them to v 3.0, except for the part where I
use the command Input to get input from the user. For example
f[x_]=Input["Input a function:"]
{a,b}=Input["Enter an interval in the form {a,b}:"]
sumadeRiemman[f,a,b]
where the last is a function I wrote and which works fine in 2.2
However, in 3.0 I get a lot of messages and the kernel hangs until I abort the 
evaluation.
Below is a smal part of the messages I get. Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot
Sergio Terrazas
