This is not xterm, it's your shell, and it's expected and standard behaviour. When you ^Z bg a process (or start it out with &), then stdin is returned to the shell, not the process. So if the process wants to read from stdin, it can't and waits until it has a connection to stdin again. So whatever process is being stopped in the background is probably looking for user input at the shell... -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, and user `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than to fix a system
