I'm not exactly sure what causes this, but have found it to happen when I ^z a process and then attempt to fg it again. What happens is I cannot do anything, the process doesn't come back into the foreground properly, and i loose the keyboard. I thought it must have been a crash, but no, I could still ssh into the machine, which I did, and killed the process that didn't foreground properly, which I noticed changed the screen on the offending box back to another psuedo terminal session which was running irssi, and the screen was still scrolling text as people chatted. So I tried then, since im using a USB keyboard, restarting hotplug, after doing that, I was able to use the keyboard again. Hope this helps anyway, any other questions don't hesitate to ask.
