    Not a day after I posted my message I figured out what was going on.
  (Oops)  The ioctl is done when the process is no longer in the process
  group of the terminal (after the setpgrp) and unix apparently doesn't 
  like ioctl's preformed from such processes.  Switching the order of the
  ioctl and the setpgrp got rid of the hang.
