Screen vt freezing

Odd..noticed this a couple times already: I SSHed into a FC6t3 image running on a VMWare server. From the SSH session I ran screen in a split window, ran "yum clean metadata; yum update". In the middle of grabbing primary.xml.gz, the screen session froze completely. Couldn't CTRL-C, couldn't do a [ENTER][~][.] SSH reset. I figured it was a glitch so I logged in directly on the console, killed the screen sessions. From Putty on another machine I logged back in. Exact same error and it stopped at the same 213/3401 as shown below. root@vm-vm1-001 ~]# yum update Deprecated constant TYPE_INTERFACE during plugin initialization.
