Data weird problem - terminal not refreshing; sleep not terminating

Hi,

I am having a wierd problem in one of the Solaris server.

Code:
root@ussd # uname -a
SunOS ussd 5.8 Generic_108528-24 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R

The problem is that terminal is not refreshing when we run commands like
prstat, tail -f "some log file", sar -u 1 10


Also, sleep command is not terminating normally. I have to press ctrl+C or ctrl+Z to terminate it.

Code:
root@ussd # sleep 2
^C
root@ussd #

root@ussd # sleep 5
^Z
[1]+  Stopped                 sleep 5
root@ussd #

root@ussd # ps -aef | grep sleep
    root 22218     1  0 11:32:57 ?        0:00 sleep 2
    root 22311 21950  0 11:54:31 pts/1    0:00 sleep 5


Any suggestions, I am unable to troubleshoot this problem.

Please HELP !!!

PTS_SLEEP(1)						       AFS Command Reference						      PTS_SLEEP(1)

NAME
pts_sleep - Pauses for a few seconds SYNOPSIS
pts sleep [-delay] <# of seconds> [-cell] <cell name> [-noauth] [-localauth] [-force] pts sl [-d] <# of seconds> [-c] <cell name> [-n] [-l] [-f] DESCRIPTION
The pts sleep pauses for a specified number of seconds. The command can be run from the command line or interactively, although from the command line it's essentially equivalent to the sleep command. It is intended for use in interactive mode to pause for a few seconds between batch commands to allow the Protection Server to catch up. CAUTIONS
Prior to OpenAFS 1.4.5 and OpenAFS 1.5.23, the pts sleep command was only available on Unix or Linux and when OpenAFS was compiled with the supergroups option (disabled by default). As of OpenAFS 1.4.5 and 1.5.23, it is always available. OPTIONS
Although they have no effect, pts sleep takes the following standard pts options: -cell <cell name> Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see pts(1). -force Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at the first error. -help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. -localauth Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see pts(1). -noauth Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more details, see pts(1). OUTPUT
This command produces no output. EXAMPLES
Here is an example of a pts interactive session: % pts interactive pts> sleep 5 pts> quit % SEE ALSO
