After installing NetBSD-0.9, I ran into a problem when running zsh. Zsh
often printed warnings about not being able to set the tty process
group. I looked at the function ttioctl() in the file tty.c in the
kernel sources and noticed that the case for TIOCSPGRP had been
commented out. This seems to have caused the warning messages produced
by zsh.

I don't fully understand the tty interface, but I am wondering if there
is a reason for commenting this out?

Thanks!
