Actually you might be looking at the wrong place for the problem.
I've had the same thing happen. It was because the host I was 
connected to was not recognizing the break (^C ^D etc)

All the stuff you typed in was in a buffer waiting until the previous
command (listing etc) completes before going on.

Check the configuration of the host your connected to.

I hope this helps, I worked for me,
(Of course you Ccould go get a brew until the darn thing is done with
the listing! ;-) )
