[Reportbug-maint] Bug#501555: same bug on reportbug itself

[Larry Doolittle]

I can see the same effect on every package (tried 4 before I got bored),
including reportbug itself.  The screen looks as follows:

  36) #475641 [n||] [audacity] audacity: audacity.1.gz is not a gzipped file Re
  37) #481424 [n||] [audacity] does not respect locales/$LANG Reported by: "W. 
  38) #483623 [n||] [audacity] audacity: Hangs if pause button pressed before r
  39) #491557 [n||] [audacity] audacity: Generates click sound when starting. R
  40) #498802 [n||] [audacity] audacity: introduces noise in every audio file R

Outstanding bugs -- Normal bugs; More information needed (2 bugs)
  41) #253459 [n|M|] [audacity] audacity: the "change intonation" effect does n
  42) #341811 [n|MR|] [audacity] audacity: Clicking "Stop" after recording make
(16-42/66) Is the bug you found listed above [y|N|m|r|q|s|f|?]? 
Outstanding bugs -- Normal bugs; Will Not Fix (2 bugs)
  43) #284576 [n|â

and then reportbug does not respond to a <return>.  Control-C works fine.
I don't see anything unusual shared by bugs 28476 and 345860 that could
trigger the problem, but the number of bugs involved (43 and 37) are both
rather large numbers.

I can also trigger it with "reportbug python2.5":
  24) #470645 [i|u|â
"reportbug boa":
  5) #40405 [w|â
"reportbug libc6":
   26) #446503 [i|â

My system:

linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64  2.6.26-8
python2.5                   2.5.2-11.1
libncursesw5                5.6+20081004-1
libc6                       2.7-15
