I accidentally hit <control>-\ in inbox-mode in Sup, immediately after
opening the application, which caused it to crash.
~/.sup/exception-log.txt contains:
--- SignalException from thread: main
SIGQUIT
./lib/sup/buffer.rb:31:in `select'
./lib/sup/buffer.rb:31:in `nonblocking_getch'
bin/sup:227
FYI.

Hi Kevin,

That's a standard UNIX keybinding like ^C. I could trap it, but I think
you'll find most other curses programs die if you press it.

...oh. Hunh. Right you are. I didn't know that. ("You mean dumping
core is the /desired/ behavior?!") It would be nice if the error
message was a little bit more informative (mutt's response is "Caught
signal 3... Exiting."), but the behavior itself is clearly not a bug.
Thanks for the response.

It might be nice to provide a "paranoid-quit" option which, like Mutt,
prompts for "are you sure, or did you just hit the wrong key?", and, if
on, bind that routine to all of 'q', SIGINT, and SIGQUIT.
(I keep wanting ^C to interrupt a long-running process within sup like a
!!, and being surprised when it quits and I'm reminded I need to ^G.
And q is way too dangerously easy to hit for someone who migrated over
from Mutt. I'd definitely turn that on, at least for a few months until
the proper keybindings stick in my mind.)

Nicer would be make 'q' ask, and 'Q' quit without asking....
