2.14.0 alpha hangs after fg after ctrl-Z

i am running R version 2.14.0 alpha (2011-10-03 r57154) in an X11
terminal.  i build from source.
i often use ctrl-Z to pause the session and return to it via fg.  i
find that R hangs upon fg -- it does not
respond to ctrl-C and ctrl-\ takes some time to give a shell back.
Problem is not present in my
linux build of r57208.
R version 2.14.0 alpha (2011-10-03 r57154)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit)

I cannot replicate this with the CRAN build of R -- here R version 2.14.0 alpha (2011-10-10 r57211).
Assuming that your reproducible example is
R
<Ctrl><Z>
fg

It works just fine (both xterm and Terminal). So

a) can you, please, check the CRAN build of R and see if you see the same problem?

b) provide exact details about how you compiled R (configure flags) as well as all 3rd part libraries you used so we can try to reproduce it?

Cheers,
Simon

This is resolved subsequent to a readline upgrade to 6.2.  Thanks for checking.
