Since upgrading to mail-client/mutt-1.5.21-r10 mutt hangs indefinitely when called inside of scripts (via cron) as well as calling it directly though a conduit such as SSH. This only seems to affect AMD64 and not x86. Reverting back to mail-client/mutt-1.5.21-r1 resolves the issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: ssh root@myserver echo test \| mutt -s test -- root@localhost Actual Results: Hang, no output. Expected Results: No output, exit code of 0.

Created attachment 322086 [details] strace of mutt called through ssh
In all cases when mutt hangs, strace always ends with this line: ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_NEXT_DEVICE or TCGETS, 0x7fff0c72edc0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) The address at the end may change slightly between runs, of course.
Muttrc: # Some minimal Mutt settings, Gentoo-style. These reflect the Gentoo # predilection for maildir folders. # # Please don't add settings to this file to change other user # preferences (such as colors), since those can be hard for a user to # undo if their preference doesn't match yours! For example, it is # *impossible* currently in mutt to remove color settings from objects # other than the index. set mbox_type=Maildir set folder=~/.maildir set spoolfile=~/.maildir/ set record=~/.maildir-sent/ set move=no # Maybe we shouldn't set index_format here, but this is a recommended # one for maildir-style folders. set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-16.16L %s"

One final piece of information on this is that when mutt hangs, it pegs the CPU.
It's one of the feature patches, without them it works fine. I think it's the xterm titles patch, since some ncurses function is being called when it hangs.
mutt_ts_capability calls tigetstr, which needs a tty. When you'd call ssh with -t, you'll see it works, since ssh allocates a pseudo tty in that case. I think the fix is to simply stop trying to do terminal title stuff when mutt has no tty.
fixed in mutt-1.5.21-r11
