Is it possible to kill the "man" process from another window? E.g. with 
"killall -9 man" ?

Cheers,

yes, it is possible, but that's not the point.  If I wouldn't mind opening up 
another window, then having a man page lock up a widow wouldn't be an issue for 
me.

What happens if you run the same man command in xterm? Are you sure nothing 
sent a "terminal freeze" (Ctrl+S) sequence? Try hitting Ctrl+Q and see what 
happens. 
 
Could you also test Konsole from KDE 3.1.2?

Very old version/report.
