telnetd and bash - hangs

I am using inetdutils (Sergeys port), with telnetd enabled in inetd.conf and
I notice the following:

I telnet to the NT server and login. (the shell is bash).
I "cat" a large text file (the file I use as an example is about 60K).

If left to complete, this works OK.

If however, while the file is scrolling, you hit the keyboard a few times,
the scrolling will stop, and nothing will get the session going again. (It's
frozen).

This ONLY happens when telnetted to the NT server. A cmd window running bash
is fine.

Summary: It feels like it's flow control related. 

Any ideas?
