I have seen this error on several versions of xenix.  Not just on the
At clone stuff, but also on a specific version from intel on one of 
their multiuser boxes.  

I assume when you say the terminal hangs, that it apears that you can'
not do anything?  Usually, if you press line-feed, or ^J, it will flush
the input buffer, give you some message about "not found...."  then all
you have to do is "exit^J" which will log you out, without having to 
kill the process from another port.  Another thing you can try, which 
clear strange terminal gyrations under Sys V, is to enter:
	"stty sane^J"  
I have done this second fix on 2.1.3, and work fine for me...  Like 
John says above, the upgrade to 2.2 is worth it.  Not only is the CU
fixed, but also drivers for many of the popular tape archive devices are
included.
