Hm - what you describe (the screen freezing) isn't what happens to
us.  Instead, our VT100s just drop characters if you exit Emacs
after doing a ^S (without a ^Q).  This is because the VT100 is so
smart that it ``knows'' the computer has already been told to shut
up, so it doesn't send any more ^Ss.  (A good idea, but it just
doesn't work well in this case.)  The fix for this problem is to
simply hit control-Q after exiting Emacs, if you're on a VT100.
