I seems that term.cmd is nil in this line:

tty, err := pty.StartWithAttrs(term.cmd, &winsize, &syscall.SysProcAttr{Setsid: true, Setctty: true, Ctty: 1})

but that’s weird because with the test just before, the function should have exited before reaching this line.

Just hit the same panic when exiting the composer on 0.5.2. This is the first time that exiting a composer caused a panic, which may suggest a race somewhere.

Looks like Terminal.Close can be called concurrently with Terminal.Draw. Terminal.Close sets term.cmd to nil, so if it times just right, it'll cause a panic.

The terminal widget probably needs to locking around the fields touched by Close.
