Package: mutt Severity: normal Version: 1.5.9-2 This has happened multiple times, but it is a sporadic thing, and only happens once every several months.
Sometimes, when I exit mutt, the display is garbled. It is as if I had `cat /bin/bash`. I can reset the display with reset. Of course, mutt should not do this. I have to wonder if its actually a mutt problem, though I have no other explanation. Next time, I hope to capture $?; in the past, I've always typed reset without thinking much.. Maybe there is a stack overflow that causes ncurses to screw up the display on endwin() (or whatever it's called)? Maybe I have already screwed up the terminal settings by doing something of the form `cat /bin/bash`, followed by reset, which didn't reset everything? Do you have any idea if $? will contain any useful information? (Well, if it is a segfault, I suppose I should have noticed, but who knows). Is there any way I can run mutt in a debug mode? I don't mind if its a bit slow or if it generates a bunch of logs, if it will be useful. Today, when this happened, I had done the following: wc -l same-dir mutt jobs reset mutt I was prompted to run mutt when bash, after wc returned, displayed "you have new mail". It was some crap delivered to me by cron about a periodic run of ntpdate because my network had been unplugged, which I deleted. mutt's final prompts were: "Move read messages to /home/pryzbyj/mbox? ([no]/yes): ", to which I answered "n", and "Purge ... deleted message?", to which I answered "yes" (I forget how many messages there were; probably 9 or 10).
