That sounds suspiciously like the symptoms supposedly resolved by the recent
HIPER PTF SF43719 for V3R7.  If so, I believe there is a V4R2 equivalent,
but I don't have it handy.  We've been having this problem happen
intermittently to both terminals and Client Access 5250 displays since V3R6,
and are hoping this PTF is the fix for it (our application window isn't
until the 31st).  I hope this helps you.
