Does anybody know what the message

Reset tty pgrp #### to ####
Hangup

means?
#### are (different) numbers, I forget if the first one does in fact
appear.. This appears occasionally (rarely) while I'm using csh on a
SPARC Station running SunOS. I seem to remember it happening on a
PDP-11 here also.. When it appears, the shell refuses to accept any
more than perhaps a line of input before interrupting and coming up
with the error again.. The only obvious cure is to log out. (Some
commands still work in part - one which doesn't is mail, which exits
back to shell (with the Reset.. message) after about a line of
typing..)
