This will not solve your problem, but i suppose it's the expected
behaviour on a terminal (the hang i mean) as Ctrl-s is usually bind to
the stop character (IIRC Ctrl-q should be the start character).

Here, with, zsh it's disabled using "unsetopt flowcontrol", but i've
done it only to have in the shell a working "history incremental
search forward" when i use Ctrl-s. From what i recall, it has never
been a problem when using Emacs...
