Describe the bug

I tried to record a (time) long execution trace, for around 2hours. When trying to exit with CTRL-D or exit, it hangs. It's been +40min it is hanging on the exit command, and the process doesn't respond.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Record + 2h process

Expected behavior

Get the .cast file when exiting.

Versions:

  • OS: [Ubuntu 22.04]
  • asciinema cli: [e.g. 2.4.0]

Additional context
N/A

Are you able to reproduce the problem with a shorter session?

Any commands in particular you used in that session?

asciinema records to a file in real-time, so the file should be there, even if ending the recording sessions couldn't happen (for some reason).

I wasn't able to reproduce the problem with a shorter session.
The commands were mostly recording git, cargo and relatively simple bash scripts.
The recording was taking a long time because of the recorded command.

I didn't go deeper as I only needed asciinema once, and I ended up using a screen recording software.
