There's a bug detecting the timeout in rtems_shell_term_wait_for().  It does 
this:

  int msec = 150;
  while (msec-- > 0  && str[i] != '\0') {
    /* Do stuff. */
    if (nothing_arrived()) {
       usleep(1000);
    }
  }

  if (msec == 0) {
    /* BUG when we broke from the loop due to time out msec is -1, not 0. */
  }

so if nothing comes in it treats it like it found a match, and for some reason 
nothing is coming in.

The "telnetd01" test I'm running doesn't set CONFIGURE_MICROSECONDS_PER_TICK so 
I think the default is 10000 us.  That means we call usleep(1000) 150 times 
when no data arrives.  If usleep() delays for one clock tick then that is 150 * 
.01 or 1.5 seconds.  Since the code times out twice that's three seconds.  
Actually it used to timeout in 4.5 seconds before I disabled the call to 
rtems_shell_term_row_column_swapped() - that function is called even when the 
calls to get the lines and columns fails.

I changed the code to use VTIME of 1 (1/10 second, or 100 msec) instead of 0.   
That lets TERMIOS do the character arrival timeout instead of using a delay in 
a loop that resets - essentially duplicating VTIME != 0 VMIN == 0.  Once I did 
that it times out as I expect in .1 seconds.

I don't know WHY no characters arrive but I know why it has a long delay.
