Hello

With gdb-4.17.0.11 under linux-2.2.5 & glibc-2.1 (all compiled
by egcs-1.1.X), I have the following gdb session on the console:

-----------
~$ gdb /usr/bin/less
GNU gdb 4.17.0.11 with Linux support

This GDB was configured as "i586-pc-linux-gnu"...
(no debugging symbols found)...
(gdb) set args a.c
(gdb) tty /dev/tty7
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/less a.c
(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...
Program received signal SIGTTIN, Stopped (tty input).
0x400fa354 in __read ()
(gdb)
------------

This happens after 'less' displayed its first screen (on /dev/tty7).

'ps' shows that that less runs _not_ on /dev/tty7 but on /dev/tty1
where gdb was started.  Looks like 'tty' command in gdb redirects
stdin/out/err but not the controlling terminal - contrary to the docs.

/dev/tty7 is a fresh virtual console owned by the appropriate user.
It is readable and writeable. The above session runs fine on my
backup system: linux-2.0.33, libc-5.4.44, gdb-4.16.

Regards
Sergei
