Correct, it does not terminate and this is a bug.  If you are a
registered user of Procomm 2.42 or Procomm Plus then your have access
to their board for REGISTERED users (which is different than the one
that's available for non-registered users) and you can download the
patch (don't forget to download the program that applies the patch).
There are also 4 other patches.  One corrects the EGA problem, one
increases speed of screen displays, one corrects the problem
with the enter key in half duplex, and I forget what the other one
does.
Don't forget, registered users have 5 free voice technical support
calls during the first 90 (or is it 60) days.  If what you call about
is really a bug then the call is not deducted from your 5 free calls.
