Misc. remarks:

(For Drazen) Is it desirable to ALWAYS do this?  For a backgrounded shell,
calling ioctl() on a tty device will usually result in a SIGTTOU stopping
the process.

(For PWS et al.) Even if it should always be done, I think it'd be a good
idea to move this code down the point where an attempt to open /dev/tty
might be made anyway, so that it needn't be opened and closed more than
once.
