I've started having a couple of odd issues with terminals in the last week or so on my Fedora 19 desktop machine and I think they're probably related. My laptop, also running Fedora 19, appears to be unaffected. Sometimes, terminals are unresponsive to ^Z, and I'm unable to suspend a process by using 'kill -TSTP' on that process. However, 'kill -STOP' works. Running 'stty -a' shows 'susp = ^Z' as expected. This affects both xterm and gnome-terminal. It affects all children of an affected process. However, sometimes if I start a new terminal from Gnome Shell it will not be affected. A workaround is to run "exec ksh -c 'exec $SHELL'" from an affected terminal. It appears that ksh does some initialisation that bash, dash and tcsh do not. My second problem is that alpine is sometimes unresponsive to changes in terminal size. I suspect that SIGWINCH is not being handled correctly. See http://superuser.com/questions/667380/sigint-and-sigtstp-ignored-by-most-common-applications/680020#680020 for an example of someone with similar but slightly different symptoms (he has problems with SIGINT, but my SIGINT works fine). Using 'pstree -ps $$' and then working my way up the tree with 'grep SigBlk /proc/$pid/status' shows 'SigBlk: 016717d03fdb4a00' for gnome-session but 'SigBlk: 0000000000000000' for its parents. This makes me suspect that the problem originates in gnome-session.
