I have noticed that on occasion, when I start a job (usually vn) using vn&,
the shell immediately prints "Stopped (tty output)".  That's ok if I have
tostop set, but "stty everything" prints "-tostop" among other things.  If
I then say "stty -tostop" and try the same command again, it doesn't stop.
("stty everything" immediately after "stty -tostop" prints the same thing
as it did before, too.)

Any clues?
