Public bug reported:
After running the following in any terminal (tested Terminator,
Terminal, xterm, and tty1):
'emacs -nw -Q'
The emacs screen loads. However, there is no input being sent to emacs,
and the only way to kill the program (^-C and ^-Z are unresponsive) is
subsequently ps -C emacs, sudo kill -KILL $pidofemacs. After having
killed emacs, one can verify that the terminal was taking the input,
however emacs was not sent the input.
It should be noted that this problem is packages specific, emacs23-lucid
and emacs23-nox were both tested, and did not have this aberrant
behavior.
The correct functionality after running emacs -nw -Q (or even just emacs
-nw) should be an emacs session that is responsive to keyboard commands.
