As the title says, whenever I try to launch a terminal emulator (eat or vterm) inside Emacs, it crashes and becomes unresponsive. :(

Here is a video showing the issue: https://imgur.com/a/q2MyQ4O

I have tried compiling Emacs with all USE flags, but the issue persists. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

I do not see any crash.

Can you reproduce the behaviour with
Code:
emacs -Q
?

Try also
Code:
M-x toggle-debug-on-error
.

What happens if you execute the function "keyboard-quit" (by default bound to C-g) while emacs seems to be frozen?

I tried it with vterm. It worked fine.
I did not try with eat, because that requires ~amd64. I use stable.

To get it to work, I had to compile emacs with dynamic-loading.

Will try that. Thanks.
