>Description:

Attempting to suspend from a vipw wedges things.  It would appear that this
is caused by the signal ignoring done in vipw prior to forking off the
editor.  I've managed to do this to myself a few times now, because I'm
reorganizing my groups and keep trying to suspend to do a "more /etc/group"

>How-To-Repeat:

# vipw
(in editor) ^Z

>Fix:
	
telnet into box, su, ps, and kill -CONT the vi process that is the child of
vipw.
