It would, I've already run into this: all things that use syslog hang writing
to syslogd, because syslogd is hung trying to write on the console.
Once all buffers are filled in you run in this situation (and then
others things start hanging - bind for example).

If it was not a ^S on the console maybe it was a hardware flow control
issue ?
