salt-call indefinitely stuck in minion

Problem : When we run salt-minion on Mac Terminal(For ssh) it hangs indefinitely for test.ping if terminal window is small 4 x 7 cm dimension, also zfs disk should be installed on that minion server. This server will pass the test.ping only if the terminal dimension is 21 x 21 cm or something bigger then it works.

It gets stuck with this message indefinitely. I need to ctrl+c and maximize the window, then it works.

For the ones that has same 4x7 cm and if zfs disks are not mounted it works.

Issue is with terminal with 4x7cm + minion should have zfs mount"

Repeated this for more than 40 times. It will perform the same in iterm or terminal both the utilities.

Start by reproducing salt-call test.ping on the reported Salt 3006.8 setup, varying the Mac terminal size and whether ZFS disks are mounted, and compare iTerm with Terminal. The issue is done when the terminal-size/ZFS-dependent hang is explained and a verified fix or actionable diagnosis is available.
