Vim crashing when pressing `ctrl-s` in terminal
When I press ctrl-s in vim running in the terminal the program crashes to the point where it doesn't even terminate when I send kill -SIGKILL <vimPID>. The process isn't listed in the output of ps anymore, but the window with the crashed program remains.
I'm using vim version 7.3, debian wheezy. This happens independent of the window manager even in the plain terminal without the X-server.
What is the reason for this behavior? Any workarounds possible?
Many thanks in advance

Ctrl+s hang terminal emulator?
How to unfreeze after accidentally pressing Ctrl+S in a terminal?
In short, Vim's fine1, it's your terminal pausing for, as usual, historical reasons. Press Ctrl-q to resume.
1) Okay, Vim might not be fine after SIGKILLing it, but the Ctrl+s didn't hurt it.
