This is SDL bug 2325: https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2325
Also see Fedora bug 1126136: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1126136

In short, certain SDL_EnableUNICODE() usage in apps/games can drop some
keyboard events and result in lockups.

One of the affected games is hexen2 (uhexen2.sf.net) which I am the
mainstream maintainer, and one of my users reported that he ran into
this bug in ubuntu:
http://sf.net/p/uhexen2/discussion/425207/thread/6f168cfb/?limit=25&page=1#ecde

I am not using debian or ubuntu, so I don't know how to report this
the right way, so I am sending this as an email to libsdl debian
maintainers.

SDL upstream already has fixed the bug, so it would be nice to see it
fixed in the debian/ubuntu/etc realm.

Regards.
