is it waiting for input, or did you put it in the background after the connection was authenticated?
to get it running again use
Code:
bg

to run it as a background process or
Code:
fg

to bring it back to the foreground. These are probably BASH specific commands, so what shell are you using?

from wikipedia "On POSIX-compliant platforms, SIGTTOU is the signal thrown by computer programs that attempt to write to the tty while in the background"

which suggests that your client is asking for information, or is trying to give you information. Are there any silent mode switches to make it not try and print to the screen, or have you tried redirecting stdin and stderr?

and does it work without trouble when run in the foreground (and without writing to stdin or stderr)
