[CentOS] ssh session output stalls

Hello,

Is anyone else having problems with the ssh session output stalling
when ssh'd to another system and the command is running via sudo and a
pager is being used (e.g., more)?

Too highly reproducible :(  to date, all known occurrences have
involved Centos 4.3 servers;  makes no difference whether client is
RHEL WS 4.3, Centos 4.3 or FC 5 or WinDoze.  Makes no difference if
terminal emulator is Gnome's stock issue or Konsole or Putty.  Not
sure about SecureCRT.

Sometimes one can break loose the logjam;  if so:
. terminal prompts are stacked left to right vs. vertically
. keyboard input is not echo'd
. in this event, terminal clear/reset doesn't
end if so.

Any thoughts?
