I googled it and find that ^Q and ^S are software flow control commands.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_flow_control

David Keech has suggestion:
     If you want to stop ctrl-s and ctrl-q working at all, put this in
     your .profile (or.bash_profile or whatever you use):

     stty -ixon -ixoff

     You can also run "stty -a" to see a list of control characters
     that your terminal supports.

Maybe Gerald has disabled them so that he can use ^S in screen.
