lynx-dev Suspend behaviour

[Pak-San Man]

I'm not sure if it's the OS, or the way I compiled Lynx, or whatever.

But when I do this on Lynx 2.8.1rel.2 (1998) on a Redhat 4.2 system, the
behaviour becomes strange, and the only thing i can do is to "kill" the
program.

I load up lynx (compiled about a week ago after an upgrade, source
downloaded directly from www.slcc.edu) using a short
"script", with the only line "~/lynx/2.8.1/lynx -cfg ~/lynx/lynx.cfg" in
it.  The I suspend lynx with ^Z, and then "fg 1" it again.  When this has
been done, the cursor becomes uncontrolled at the bottom of the screen.
If I press "q" at this point, then the program exits.  If I press any
other key, somehow the program drops back into shell mode (without telling
me).  A "ps" shows me that lynx is still running:

[...]
15725  ?  S    0:00 -bash
15795  ?  R    0:06 /home/pm243/lynx/2.8.1/lynx -cfg
/home/pm243/lynx/lynx.cfg
15796  ?  R    0:00 ps

but it cannot be fg'd anymore.

Is this just a compilation problem?  I've removed the source from the
computer, so can't check without going through all the userdef's and
altering the Makefiles again.

Thanks
