[darcs-devel] [issue1278] darcs hangs when invoked with no arguments and pager quits

[Reinier Lamers]

New submission from Reinier Lamers <tux_rocker at reinier.de>:

When I simply type "darcs<ENTER>" and then, in the pager, type "q" to quit,
darcs will hang eating 100% CPU. Ctrl-C and SIGTERM don't stop it, only SIGKILL
works.

This was tested on Ubuntu Intrepid on an ASUS M51Tr laptop. Some more information:

$ uname -a
Linux adim 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:15:32 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ darcs --version
2.2.0pre1 (prerelease 1)

$ dpkg -l less
ii  less       418-1      Pager program similar to more
