I was testing 2.6.23-git15, and I'm noticing that if I su to root, then suspend the root shell, and try continue it via "fg", it hangs. The ps command reports: 15806 6386 19 0 4012 wait Ss pts/0 00:00:00 bash 0 6444 19 0 1232 finish_stop T+ pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/su -p 0 6445 19 0 3696 finish_stop T pts/0 00:00:00 bash 15806 6571 19 0 776 pipe_wait S+ pts/1 00:00:00 grep pts/0 This works under 2.6.23. I am running Ubuntu Gutsy running in a gnome-terminal, with bash as my login shell. I can suspend a zsh or bash shell where I haven't su'ed to root. But if the shell is started using either su or sudo, when I try to resume it after suspending using the "suspend" command via "fg", I get a hung shell. I haven't had time to bisect it yet, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case this rings a bell with anybody... - Ted
