Doesn't login do this?  The BSD login sets the TSTP handler to SIG_IGN, and
the BSD init handles TTIN and TTOU.  It's up to shells that understand the
peculiarities of job control to change the handling to something else.

 All the /bin/sh's I can check around here do when they're a login shell
(and pass this onto their children), presumably as a signal to
applications such as less or vi to not try to suspend themselves.
Should rc duplicate this behavior?
