I suppose the kernel is not frozen, (we don't code so good code to be able to hang the kernel), thus the tty is in raw mode. Did you try to use the ReqSys sequences to try to recover the system?. I think this is the first thing you should try. You also can try t have a remote session from another computer, and see if the session is affected or not. I believe the system is not frozen, but maybe I am wrong. Regards,

Try fiddling with the back buffering and the buffering method. Sincerely, Christoph Lohmann
Re: [dev] Re: [st] System freeze when killing X after using st-git
I have this problem too. Using the latest git dwm and st on arch linux with the xf86-video-intel driver. After I quit using shift-alt-q it's completely frozen, can't even switch between consoles. Could anyone give me some advice on how to debug this? I haven't found any good leads in logs. I would like to try to produce a fix but it's not something I'm experienced in.

Why not instrument the code around the so called "troubling" commit and look to see if that reveals proof of a problem?. if you think its a dwm issue, hunt it down with instrumentation.

Seems to be aggravated/caused by spawning an X11 program while another one is picking up/handling depressed keys? (Let's be honest, my keys would be depressed if I was on one of those machines ... ho ho ho) If it can't be reproduced on another host/os combo, one place to look would be Arch / OSX's X11 configure and make flags.
