openssh unix dev - May 2006 - ctrl+s locks up ssh

Hi folks,

I've noticed an problem with openssh on GNU/Linux:
pressing ctrl+s locks up the ssh client. Only killing it helps.

Is this problem already known ?

That is called software flow-control AKA Xon/Xoff.

Ctrl-s = Xoff (stops the flow)
Ctrl-q = Xon (resumes the flow)

This is a feature of your terminal and not a bug in ssh.
