Ok, I managed to narrow down.  After this commit, both on UP and SMP kernel,
pressing ctrl+Z while browsing a manpage does not give control to the shell.
And this is still reproducible on HEAD.

- you need to press Enter following ctrl+Z to suspend a single cat command
  waiting for stdin, instead of just a ctrl+Z

- this doesn't happen trying to suspend a simpler job like
  $ cat | cat | less

- if I send SIGCONT to the rightmost one of the piped process(i.e. less)
  it starts responding to keystrokes again

I don't remember whether I've seen this when I was using tsleep0x-patched
system, but I doubt it since I often suspend manpage and do something in
the same terminal rather than opening a new one.
