Not that I'm aware of.

Believe it.  Sorry...  things get confused, in some curses applications
(heck, even emacs had some problems with job control under sco [due to not
working with the posix termios structure]).  What I use, until it gets fixed
(next version, I assume), is:

	:!sleep 1
	^Z

When I'm done, I then type 'fg', press return, and everything works
properly.
