I have this weird problem when I close Xwindows, and I _suspect_ that it is related to mutt, but I am not sure.
Ever since I apt-get upgraded my box the last time (couple days ago),
I've been having this really weird problem where it _seems_ as though
mutt has hijacked the keyboard input from my tty, but is not displaying
anything on it.
In fact, it's much weirder than that. It's almost as though the keyboard
focus is rotating between mutt, bash, and something else entirely
different. Sometimes when I press keys it will seem as though mutt is
asking me for a Subject (as in composing a new message), and if I press
more random keys, vim will open with a blank message, however it's not
really vim because it doesn't accept any vim commands, it just has vim's
output, and if I press more random keys (when I say random keys, I mean
like frantically trying to type ":q!" into vim, or "q" into mutt, or
"exit" into bash, because I can't tell what's running), it will come
up with bash's "command not found" error. The only thing that works
properly at this point are the ALT+F# keys to switch ttys.
The 'w' command on another tty says that I am running '-bash' on the
affected tty. 'killall mutt' and 'killall vim' said those commands
weren't running, which is really weird. I might try a 'killall bash'
next time I get this problem.
Anybody have any ideas?
