Sounds like you have directory with a corrupted file name.  Check that when
this happens if the lock appears on the status line of the terminal.

If so just press setup and the lock should go away.

In the ls of the directory that locks the system, when you unlock the
terminal do an lc -lab and see what file has imbedded control characters.

This sounds like it MIGHT be your problem.

Normally the only things that happen with Wyse terminals is that they have
phyical problems, not emulation/software problems.
