Actually, Ctrl-Z sends the program to the background.  You can bring
it back with 'fg' or '%1' (if it's the first/only thing that you have
running in the background.  You can use the 'jobs' command to list the
programs running in the background for the current shell.

However, if you really want to disable Ctrl-Z, read up on the shell
command 'trap'.
