I think we can reasonably assume that the two most common shells are
bash followed by zsh today.
Neither of these have a "terminal freeze" by default from upstream,
and so unless distro people add these lines to everyone's rc,
the majority won't have a "terminal freeze" by default.
I think this is also a safe assumption:
Arch Linux (which I run) does not,
and Debathena (MIT's Debian based setup) and thus likely Debian as well do not.

Now in the absence of a terminal freeze (i.e a "default" shell config),
try out Nicolas' old example
(https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2015-July/176475.html):

ffmpeg -lavfi testsrc -f framecrc - | head

zsh is clobbered by this.

bash needs a slight modification, i.e ffmpeg needs to run in a harness
(https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2015-August/176560.html):

strace ffmpeg -lavfi testsrc -f framecrc - | head

bash and zsh are both clobbered by this.

Both of these examples are with current git HEAD.
