I've noticed that tmux can be "frozen" by doing something like this:

  $ echo -e '\e_'

This probably shouldn't be much of a surprise given the definition of
the state machine used in input.c, and maybe it's considered OK. A
quick test show that xterm also has this problem, but VTE
(gnome-terminal) doesn't.

I wanted to call attention to this in case it is cause for concern.

In case it's not clear what is happening when it is "frozen", sending
a prefix for certain states will cause the terminal to remain in that
state until a termination sequence (usually just anything beginning
with ESC) is encountered in the input. The lack of a shell prompt
makes it impossible (or not?) to send anything to the input stream to
cause a return to the default state.
