I ran to this issue again today,

I was busy with other stuffs so I had made a quick post there hoping someone would chime in.. great to know that issues I wanted to report with C++ linking and play-audio have been resolved already.

Anyways back to current issue, programs that write a lot of output to terminal freezes app. I investigated it a bit and it doesnt happen if the write is limited..

Here's a test case..
Run a program that writes to terminal
find $PREFIX/lib
The terminal will output until a new line and freeze until the command completes.

Now limit the output with pv.
apt install pv
find $PREFIX/lib | pv -L 2048
The output will be scrolled too fast to read in the terminal but it doesnt freeze the app.

I can't reproduce this at all. I just tried find / and it scrolls smoothly until I interrupt it.

This seems like an issue with tmp-mksh on OmniROM. As I'm getting this on other term emulators too.

I guess I will close this as it is not related to Termux only.
