Sure. All keystrokes are shown at the terminal, but scsh doesn't
react to them. Control-C or Control-Z doesn't work, the only way I
can terminate the application is by sending a KILL signal to scshvm.
Strangly when running scsh in gdb the problem disappears. Also the
problem only occurs when the database is opened or created. If the
filepath is illegal an error is signalled, but the application doesn't
hang. Sometimes the call to (open-database db) succeeds but scsh
hangs after typing ,exit.
