Follow-up Comment #17:

The attached patch works for me.  I'm not sure that it's the best
implementation, but it's a starting point.  The idea is to block SIGTSTP in
all threads except the interpreter, and to also unblock it for any processes
we create.  I didn't add SIGTSTP to the list of async signals in
signal-wrappers.c because then it would be unblocked in the thread that
watches signals and only delivered with a delay (set a global variable, check
it when octave_quit() is called).  The nice thing about this method is that we
don't have to install our own signal handler for SIGTSTP that might interfere
with the one readline installs.
