Thanks.  By poking around with nm I was able to find the variable.
It's kb_noleds.  It is normally zero.  I set it to one, using

   /etc/patch -k /unix kb_noleds 1

(-k to patch the running system, without -k to patch the file /unix)
^S/^Q now works without hanging.  Unfortunately this disables all
setting of the leds, so num lock and caps lock doesn't show either,
but this is a small price to pay for getting rid of the hanging.

Do you fix kernel problems on Suns too?
