Control-s occasionally stops working (in emacs)

Hi,

Occasionally on my intel macbook (Tiger) the key control-s stops working. I noticed that when using emacs. Other combinations such as C-x, C-r, C-c, etc., all work fine, but C-s gives no response. This does happen very often. And I don't know what triggers it. I sometimes can get C-s back after logging out and in; sometimes I need to reboot the machine. Does anyone out there have this problem? Any help is appreciated.

Hey Shawn, kill the window and then open a new one. It should work now. Apologies for the late reply. I had forgotten that I was supposed to tell you this.
