During an attempt to sign a message with mutt it entered an endless loop
with no obvious way to escape. I replied to an email, then hit 'S', the
sign/encrypt question appeared. I selected 's' (I think) to just sign
the thing. Then a question 'Sign as:' appeared. Whatever I enter there,
the question is asked again and again. strace shows:
