This is not what happens on other platforms. At least with my limited
testing I found that if you do on Solaris

sleep 10
^Z
fg

the process will continue to sleep.

This is the least what has to happen.

No, it's not the only place (e.g., blocking read call). I think this
is a general change. Whenever the continue happens throug
PTRACE_CONTINUE no EINTR should be generated.
