 Arm version 1.4.4 had an issue where it froze after running for several
 days. I managed to get a reliable repro for this sort of glitch and
 tracked it to an interaction between readline and screen which has been
 fixed in 1.4.5, but the original problem persists.

 At this point I'm at a loss for what is causing it or how to diagnose the
 problem since it takes days to manifest. At present I'm trying a sort of
 git bisect to narrow down the issue. I'll update this ticket as I narrow
 things down.

 Commit e249dc8 (version 1.4.5.0) - broken
 Commit d0bb81a (version 1.4.2.0) - testing...
 Commit f403ccc (version 1.4.0.0) - works
