[Alan, thanks for the tips on where to instrument this]

What I have verified so far is that when the problem occurs, it gets to
this point in [tty_io.c] tty_check_change():

1229         kill_pgrp(task_pgrp(current), SIGTTOU, 1);
1230         set_thread_flag(TIF_SIGPENDING);
1231         ret = -ERESTARTSYS;
1232 out:
1233         return ret;

So the error that gets returned to set_termios() is -512.

Also, the various checks before this point (of course) did not pass
(current->signal->tty != tty, !tty->pgrp, task_pgrp(current) ==
tty->pgrp, is_ignored(SIGTTOU), is_current_pgrp_orphaned()).  I have not
printed out the various values from these - let me know if this would be
helpful.  I wanted to pass this info along now in case it is of help.
