My machine may be different with Tim's, it is a P4 1.5G CPU, 
its speed maybe fast enough to skip the problem. BTW, bde has
also reported the problem, so this is serious, wouldn't kernel
send out SIGTTOU when null change a foreground group is enough 
to fix the problem?. but why don't they block SIGTTOU when 
calling tcsetpgrp()?
