I encountered the problem you describe the other day 
when I was setting up a UUCP link and testing it.  
I wasn't quite sure what happened, and I had just
recently begun using the TERM program.  At any rate, the system hung
and I had to reboot to restore it.  

Wouldn't it be nice if there were some key combination that could kill
the login shell and any processes running on the line?  It would be
the same as typing "kill -9 PID" as superuser from another terminal, and
would prevent having to use the reset button to exit abruptly.
