   I've been attempting to get tcsh 6.02 working under 386bsd. I've gotten it
   to compile, and it runs to a certain degree, but just about any process I
   fork off get suspended as soon as it tries to do terminal I/O. All I get is
   a "Suspended (TTY Input[Output])".  From that point, I can do just about
   anything by 'fg'ing it.  The module sh.proc.c seems to have something to
   say about the "famous" stopped (tty output) message, but it doesn't say
   much other than that.

   Has anyone gotten this working, and if so, is there a patch, or a simple
   fix?

No fix at all. Simply use the BSD4.4 configuration file. V. 6.02 now
works correctly here for the first time. (Under ISC 2.2.1 and SGI Irix 4.0.5
I had trouble with prompts.)
