Why can't you simply unbind C-z in your .emacs?  There's always "C-x
C-z" which does the same, should you need that.

I have a similar problem, except that in my case C-z is bound to a
different command.  I'm so used to that other command that when I
work in "emacs -q" or on someone else's machine, I frequently forget
and press C-z.  But I never thought it was a reason good enough to
unbind C-z by default: it is simply my personal problem, so I deal
with it as God intended. ;-)

Only some ``people''; others don't want to move their hands to the
mouse or some function key to do that.
