[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#314727: login: suspend command from su shell fails to return to parent shell

[Ned Patterson]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.0.3-35
Severity: important

After using /bin/su to change to either the super user or another user, 
the bash 'suspend' command fails to work properly.  It does stop the
process, but it fails to return control to the parent shell.  Once
stopped, it moves the cursor to a new line, but does not echo any
characters typed.  Bash 'suspend' command does work correctly from a
new bash process started without the su command.  (i.e. just running
bash from the user prompt.)

The stopped process can be resumed by sending the -CONT signal from
another terminal.
