I had the exact same problem on one of our BSD/OS 2.0 machines
last week. I got a reply back from Matt Bush (xomox@boris.eden.com)
saying to use "stty -f <path-to-dev-entry> flushout" to drain the
output queue. That solved the problem immediately.
We don't seem to have "flushout" with the 2.0.5 stty though. :(

stty - set the options for a terminal device interface

flushout Flush the output queue for the device. This is most
useful when an exiting processs is stuck waiting for
terminal output to drain.
