sftp problem with ftponly shell

Solaris (10 if it matters)

We can connect from a remote client successfully to our server and use ftp without issue for an account with ftponly shell

With public/private keys, we can also connect passwordless to a server ftponly account and use sftp

However, if we try to connect to the using sftp on the client and enter the password (ie without public/private keys) , although it appears to connect nothing seems to work - the client side freezes and it's not possible to do anything useful. Doing the same thing but to a ksh account works fine, but leaves a huge security hole!

I've heard rumours that there's a known issue with sftp/ftponly but can't find any details. Can anyone help?
