...events the problem. So, while the problem appears to be kind of expected, it is being reported in case it was not meant to happen. Originally reported in Red Hat bugzilla [1]. This is rare race condition, where we stuck in the code openbsd-compat/readpassphrase.c: while (tcsetattr(input, _T_FLUSH, &oterm) == -1 && errno == EINTR) continue; but it should not happen. The possible solution would be to check the signal received in the handler, but I am not sure about most appropriate fallback when the above fails. More verbose analysis is in the above menti...
