undefined" for every key
--text follows this line--
I have long had a bug where everything I type says "k is undefined",
where k stands for any key including ESC and C-g. this occurs
randomly.
It is impossible to get out of this mode, unless you can figure out
some SIGUSR1 voodoo. Except once, I think type-break activating got
me out of the mode. And once I got
out by just coming back to it after a half hour or something.
I suspect maybe type-break also causes the bug, if certain conditions
obtain. I am not sure. But it is the only timer-based thing I can
think of.
I believe it occurs when I am in the minibuffer. Perhaps only at a
password prompt.
I don't know if this bug report is useful.
Thanks.
