I'm betting there's something broken about your pager
settings, because 21 is as far as the display would get
in a standard-height (24 lines) xterm window. When I do
this I see

...
19
20
21
--More--

Since you're not getting a prompt but just the subsequent
\timing output, it seems that the rest of the output went
into the bit bucket, which psql would certainly never do
on its own. But a malfunctioning pager might act that way.
