Yep, you're right, I've messed up terminology. ;-)
The problem was that bash did not install the handler for SIGTSTP.  The
bash authors have somehow foreseen that problem because there was already
an outcommented patch for that case.  It was close to the error location I
had made out, so I simply tried it out and it worked.  Rather good luck
than profound knowledge. ;-)

To see the details you have to install the sources and check what that
patch really does.  Maybe that can lead to the solution of the ssh problem
Qfunk reported.

Ciao
