Hey,

as noted on irc, I had a report from a coworker, confirmed by a debian bug report (at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=624684). It's not completely clear but it seems that, somehow randomly, Terminal will stop accepting input (in any opened window/tab).

strace and gdb seems to show an endless loop in poll() but I'm not too sure where it's stuck.

I was never able to reproduce it but the reporter in Debian experiences it regularly (though he's not able to reproduce it at will).

You should be able to reach him by mail (on the downstream bug report) if needed, traces are there too.

Regards,
