Would it be possible to interceprt SIGTSTP & then just SIGCONT the
	parent process & continue running (or similar), and then pick up
	the SIGCONT from the patent later & reattach to the tty?

We agree that this is annoying, but none of the various alternatives which we
have considered have been any better.  We'll look into this further, but for
the time being the best thing is to avoid suspending Pine and forgetting about
it!
