What is TERM/PFTERM set to?  What emulation are you using under Termlite?
Is it possible the termcap doesn't match what Termlite expects, and happens
to include some code that makes the window appear to lock?  (For example, I
recall years ago a printer that used Ctrl-S for underline on, and any time
someone tried local printing, the system "froze" at the underline-on part,
due to the XOFF being sent through the serial port.)
