Thank you Eric for this quick answer.
Are you sure of your syntax. I added the above 3 lines to my
~/.bash_profile.
CTRL-S still results in inactivation of input in a Mintty bash session
with the bonus that CTRL-Q no longer cures the situation.
The only way out was to kill the window with the Task Manager.

Best regards.
