Package: mutt
Severity: normal
Version: 1.5.9-2
This has happened multiple times, but it is a sporadic thing, and only
happens once every several months.
Sometimes, when I exit mutt, the display is garbled. It is as if I
had `cat /bin/bash`. I can reset the display with reset. Of course,
mutt should not do this. I have to wonder if its actually a mutt
problem, though I have no other explanation. Next time, I hope to
capture $?; in the past, I've always typed reset without thinking
much..
Maybe there is a stack overflow that causes ncurses to screw up the
display on endwin() (or whatever it's called)?
Maybe I have already screwed up the terminal settings by doing
something of the form `cat /bin/bash`, followed by reset, which didn't
reset everything?
Do you have any idea if $? will contain any useful information?
(Well, if it is a segfault, I suppose I should have noticed, but who
knows).
Is there any way I can run mutt in a debug mode? I don't mind if its
a bit slow or if it generates a bunch of logs, if it will be useful.
Today, when this happened, I had done the following:
wc -l same-dir
mutt
jobs
reset
mutt
I was prompted to run mutt when bash, after wc returned, displayed
"you have new mail". It was some crap delivered to me by cron about a
periodic run of ntpdate because my network had been unplugged, which I
deleted. mutt's final prompts were: "Move read messages to
/home/pryzbyj/mbox? ([no]/yes): ", to which I answered "n", and "Purge
... deleted message?", to which I answered "yes" (I forget how many
messages there were; probably 9 or 10).
