And ZB, are you sure it wasn't "suspended (tty input)"? Both messages can appear and I don't recall a shell mistaking one state for the other. But I don't use tcsh either.
This was a Solaris 8 for i386 box... I usually use ksh, but I saw this problem on another site, and replicated it on my old sun box. I've since upgraded it to Solaris 9 - I'll check it out when I get home. On Linux, the same command yields the expected result of "stopped (tty input)" as you'd expect.

I know that zsh had a few bugs regarding this too - but I'm not sure if the OP uses the Z shell.

Which shell and OS are you using, qsi?

EDIT: Just tried under Solaris 9 - using ksh:
Code:
$ read foo &
[1] 360
$
[1] + Stopped (SIGTTOU) read foo &


Cheers
ZB
