Thanks, I'll take a look. `less' gets the SIGTTOU because it tries to set
the terminal attributes after the process group leader has already given
the terminal back to the original (parent shell) process group. The issue
is that it needs to wait until `less' has finished before doing that, or
not do it at all and let the parent shell do it after `less' has exited.
