I have the same problem I think.  The solution I chose was to ALT-ENTER
before exiting rhide.  Setting back to a windowed environment seemed to
help.  Mostly though I just shut-down into DOS for rhide sessions.  It seems
quite stable and works in 80x50 screen mode so it's quite a fine text-based
environment that way.

Good Luck!
