Very odd. Do you get the msg:
Cancel request sent
ERROR: Query was cancelled.
or does the window freeze before this?

I'm running RH8 here without any issues, although I'm not using the shipped
version of PG. There are three things I can think of:
1. There is a Ctrl-S occurring which is pausing output (use Ctrl-Q to
unpause)
2. Something about your locale/font/keyboard settings is confusing RedHat
3. There is a bug in psql

Does the problem occur if you're at a text console (the Ctrl-Alt-F1 one)?
That
should rule out #3.
