What do I do when my file freezes in Vim?

What’s the difference between touch and VI in shell?
It is worth noting that touch is used to update file timestamps. If you use touch on a file that exists, it will then update the files timestamp to the current date and time. If the file does not exist, it creates an empty file with the current date and time as the timestamp. vi, on the other hand, does not create a new file unless you write to it.

Why does my screen freeze in Solaris 10?
Ctrl – S is probably the culprit; it stops your screen output in most terminals. As Michael mentioned, you can restore your screen to normal by entering Ctrl – Q. Theoretically, setting stty -ixon should prevent Ctrl – S from freezing your screen, but it’s not working on my local Solaris 10 login.
Why does Vim-Ctrl-S hang the terminal emulator?
I came across a sentence in vimdoc: Note: CTRL-S does not work on all terminals and might block further input, use CTRL-Q to get going again. and using CTRL-S indeed hangs my vim. I was thinking that it was vims fault, since there was no problem when I used C-s / C-x C-s in emacs nox.

Is there a way to stop VIM from running?
CTRL-C does not work. No other key sequence or mouse event can stop vim. And no command I am sending to vim or to the shell bash by “writevt” has an effect. At least vim should be responsible to a SIGNAL, e.g. USR1.
Why does VIM not respond to writevt command?
No other key sequence or mouse event can stop vim. And no command I am sending to vim or to the shell bash by “writevt” has an effect. At least vim should be responsible to a SIGNAL, e.g. USR1. But Vim does not react. In addition it is bad that vim does not show in any way that vim is busy and that it is e.g. searching.
Why is Vim busy for 10 to 20 hours?
Even if I do not forget to make the change in options to “noincsearch” vim begins to search and is busy for 10 to 20 hours. Because the file, I am editing is very large. This may be caused by a typo or by a “normal” search backwards for a seldom text. The problem is, that in this state vim is not interruptible. CTRL-C does not work.
