Bug Description
I've been trying to break a lock with the following command:
bzr break-lock bzr+ssh://<email address hidden>
it then asked for my passphrase and it then gave the following:
Break lock bzr+ssh://<email address hidden>
held by <my email address> on host craig [process #2292]
locked 10 hours, 6 minutes ago? [y/n]:
At this point it does not echo any of my key strokes and if I type in y and strike the enter key is does nothing and just has the cursor blinking on the same line as it was before i typed in.
Interestingly, if i type 2 character straight after each other i.e 'c' 'y' then it echos/displays the 'y' char only.
so by using this hack I type in c and the y (but in quick succession) and then I typing in 'c' and 'enter' (in quick succession). And the cursor will be on the next line with the following displayed:
Break lock bzr+ssh://<email address hidden>
held by <my email address> on host craig [process #2292]
locked 10 hours, 6 minutes ago? [y/n]:y
Even with this it still seems "stuck".
This is starting to be a real problem. It won't allow me to break the lock that I inadvertently created because of other problems I was having.
Is there any other way of breaking this lock. (maybe having some timeout mechanism, that only counts up once when it does not detect any activity etc). Because I think the only way i can start pushing my changes to this (empty) branch would be to create a new one etc.

Another effect that this has it that my console (cmd terminal) does not respond to right clicks and ctrl-C etc
When i type ctrl-z it just repeats the output.
I hope this is enough info.
