Laravel Command->choice looping

Using Laravel 5.2 (currently the latest release) is looping when using the artisan function choice(). My code is basic:

<?php

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Illuminate\Console\Command;

class TestCommand extends Command
{
    protected $signature = 'function:menu';

    public function handle() {
        $this->choice('select yes', ['yes']);
    }
}

When I run

php artisan function:menu

I get

select yes:
  [0] yes
 >


 [ERROR] Undefined variable: output

select yes:
  [0] yes
 >


 [ERROR] Undefined variable: output

It loops through that non-stop without waiting for input. It works fine on Windows 7 and Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie), but a fresh install of laravel on CentOS release 5.11 (Final) does this. Does anyone know why?
