Your terminal is set for terminal flow control. "Old" terminals allowed
you to halt the output to the terminal with CTRL-S and restart it with
CTRL-Q. You can use stty to check this:
$ stty -a
...
eol2 = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W;
... ^^ ^^
Then you can disable it:
$ stty start undef susp undef
If that solves your problem, put that command in your .bash_profile or
.bashrc or whatever.
