This was filed as a Solaris bug against the GNU coreutils version of
stty. I don't know enough to determine whether there is a real problem
here on not, so forwarding to the experts.
/usr/bin/stty is the Solaris version of stty and /usr/gnu/bin/stty is
the one in GNU coreutils.
Thanks.

Description
I have not investigated this thoroughly, but it would appear that GNU
stty, feels that sanity involves no-oping job control, by setting the
(ancient, never really used) swtch to ^z, causing it to be ignored,
(susp is also ^z, but swtch wins).
stty(1) describes sane thusly:
sane Reset all modes to some reasonable
values.
I argue that values which apparently clobber job control are not
reasonable.
The GNU stty(1) says:
sane same as cread -ignbrk brkint -inlcr -igncr icrnl -iutf8
-ixoff -iuclc -ixany imaxbel opost -olcuc -ocrnl onlcr
-onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel nl0 cr0 tab0 bs0 vt0 ff0
isig icanon iexten echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh
-xcase -tostop -echoprt echoctl echoke, all special
characters to their default values
"all special characters to their default values", if swtch and susp
really do
default to ^z, swtch should be changed.

Expected Result
swtch = undef, working job control via 'susp', ^Z
Actual Result
^z being both swtch and susp, ^Z not functioning for job control
Workaround
explicitly specify /usr/bin/stty sane, when sanity is required.
