Has anyone else had any problems with hitting ^Z while either at the NeXT and
using the Terminal app, or at home and logging in remotely?

At home, ^Z just hangs it.  Completely.  In Terminal, it *used* to work, but
I just hit it to check my LoginHook thing for a poster, and I *think* it
started doing a core dump, but no core file resulted.  The /Users disk went
haywire, I'm doing a find on it now... well, I found a core file, but it
isn't mine... (I killed rn, and that might have freed up the unfinished
coredump, but I'm not sure).

This is mildly annoying at best.
