Screen vt freezing

[Kwan Lowe]

Odd..noticed this a couple times already:

I SSHed into a FC6t3 image running on a VMWare server. From the SSH session I ran
screen in a split window, ran "yum clean metadata; yum update". In the middle of
grabbing primary.xml.gz, the screen session froze completely. Couldn't CTRL-C,
couldn't do a [ENTER][~][.] SSH reset.

I figured it was a glitch so I logged in directly on the console, killed the screen
sessions. From Putty on another machine I logged back in. Exact same error and it
stopped at the same 213/3401 as shown below.

>From the console the update completes fine.

root at vm-vm1-001 ~]# yum update
