  Modified files:
    usr.bin/su           su.c 
  Log:
  Remove broken code that mucks about with tcsetpgrp() -- even if
  su isn't the foreground process.  Hopefully this won't break PAM,
  but I couldn't find any useful information about ache's theory
  that it will.
  
  Specifically, this change fixes the following:
  
      # sh
      # echo $$
      # su - root -c id &
      # echo $$
  
  The PID output changes as su seems to be kill -STOP'ing itself
  and catching the parent shell in the process.  This is especially
  bad if you add a ``su - user -c command &'' to an rc script!
