write version 1.4 (the one on paris) fails when writing to somebody
else on the same machine who has "stty tostop".  The write process
is suspended with (tty output).  This is a consequence of the
process group fix in version 1.4.

The fix is to do add a "signal(SIGTTOU, SIG_IGN)" when write sets
the process group to the destination tty.
