> Typing backslash followed by ? completely freezes the CLI. It only seems to be that particular key combination.
> I realize the ? is a special key, but there seems to be some buggy behavior here. Kind of a major issue, but the likliehood of someone accidentally typing "\?" is probably small, so marking this 'minor'.
> This occurs whether it is at the beginning of a command or anywhere afterwards.
> CTRL+C is unsuccessful at exiting the CLI. The cli no longer responds to any keyboard input - backspace, alphanumeric keys, etc.
> Only way to exit is CTRL+\ which sends a SIGQUIT to force the process to quit. The average user probably won't know to do this.
> Assuming this isn't supposed to happen, looks like it's happening in the fd polling, so not sure if anything can be done about it, but here it is anyways:

> EDIT: Only occurs with remote console (e.g., {{asterisk -r}})
