I found a bug in mutt
Hi, I use mutt 0.95.6i with ncurses 4.2 on Linux 2.2.10. I think I found a bug in _this_ version (other versions I've never tried). If mutt is started and you press CTRL-X-S mutt is dead. And if you want to kill the process from an other console it is not possible. Until a reboot you can't use this terminal (yes, perhaps it is possible to kill and restart anything else to use this terminal again, but I' am new on Linux so I can't use this terminal until a reboot). If this bug is already known, ignore this mail and excuse me, but I couldn't find something like list of all known bugs.

If you press Ctrl-S it enters some kind of a "no-echo" state (that's what I call it anyway), you can quit with Ctrl-Q. You might want to give that a try. Like I said I found this by accident, don't ask me what or why :) -- Ronny Haryanto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Addendum: I found a bug in mutt
Hi, it's me again... In my last mail I told that you have to reboot your system if you want to use the dead terminal again. I didn't checked it it is not possible to reboot. I've waited for ca. 5 minutes but Linux didn't reboot.

This is not a bug! Ctrl-s suspends the terminal, press Ctrl-q to resume.

Re: I found a bug in mutt
It has nothing to do with mutt. I believe if you press CTRL-s, it will have the same effect. Try press CTRL-q to unlock your terminal...
