That's a bug in Sun's 3.0.  I first ran into the problem here with Unipress
Emacs and when I contacted Sun, they said that they had reports of this
happening with GNU emacs as well.  As I recall, they said it was fixed in
3.2 and they also supplied new versions of rlogin.o and tcp_output.o at
our request.  I think it also happened with "more".

I found that in many cases, the editor wouldn't really be hung, it would
just lose output.  For example, sometimes when I paused Unipress Emacs and
then brought it forward, it would seemingly hang, but if I typed the
key sequence to pause it, it would usually pause again and the shell would
be ok.  I could then bring it forward again and things would be ok.  Not
as good as a fix, but it usually worked.
