Package: vim
Version: 1:6.3-061+1
Severity: normal

If I have a mapping like so:

map ,= 1G=G''

and I call it on an unmodifiable buffer (eg, the "help" buffer) then I
could be up for having to press Enter (to acknowledge the resulting
error msg) over 6000 times (the help page I brought up was over 6000
lines long) before I regain control of vim.  All keypresses seem to act
as Enter, so one cannot cancel, close the buffer, or even exit vim.

I would prefer to have some way of telling vim "dang, that was a
mistake, abort it all" that only prompts for acknowledgement once :)
