Hi Thomas, the problem is that ROOT sets the terminal in "raw" mode to support command line editing. Sometimes when you crash this mode is not reset and your characters are not echoed anymore (not /dev/null). I'll try to fix this issue in the very near future. In the meanwhile to get your terminal back type "stty sane" and things should be ok again. Cheers, Fons.
