Pretty drastic.  Hit ^S to pause scrolling, and instantly hung terminal.
Seen on both urxvt and xterm under x11, and on virtual console screens.

This appears in dmesg:

    tty: fix port buffer locking

    tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag() is racy against itself when called
    from the ioctl(TCXONC, TCION/TCIOFF) path [1] and the flush_to_ldisc()
    workqueue path [2].
