Not at all a solution to your problem, but maybe a workaround.  Most distros 
(that I know of) start at least a few virtual terminals at startup that you 
can access by pressing ALT+F1, ALT+F2, ALT+F3...ALT+F6.  Switching to a 
different virtual terminal may save you a reboot.  You could log in and kill 
the process (killall pine).  It should work, even if you're running X.  
Alternatively, you can kill (or restart) X with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE.

Of course if your computer is unresponsive to any and all keystrokes this 
won't work.  :-P

HTH,
