Sorry, I think I misunderstood the description initially. I
interpreted 'enter "you"' as typing the letters "y", "o", "u", and
then pressing the enter key and the pressing "k" to get one line up.

But if you enter "youk" aptitude no more reacts except on Ctrl-C. At
least once in the 157x21 terminal. But I wasn't able to reproduce it
even in the 157x21 terminal after I tried it in the same process while
the terminal was bigger.

So it may depend on what has already been done (and hence maybe cached
internally) before.

I was not able to reproduce it in 0.7.2-1 from testing at all, even
if I followed the instructions inside a freshly started aptitude in a
157x21 terminal.
