I tried a couple times to reply to your last posting by mail.  It kept
bouncing back to me.  Anyhow, I came from a SysV background and cu
always worked this way so I was not surprised when tip did it.  The
advantage is you can immediately call another machine without restarting
tip.  I can't say whether it is supposed to work this way or not, but it
is certainly consistent with cu.
