Are you sure about this? ...If I make that change to the first if, the 
second part of the else if's condition get a chance it didn't have 
previously.

What I'd like to do here is to take advantage of the function that was 
added:

		if (!n_tty_receive_char_flow_ctrl(tty, c) &&
		    tty->flow.stopped && !tty->flow.tco_stopped && I_IXANY(tty) &&
        	    c != INTR_CHAR(tty) && c != QUIT_CHAR(tty) &&
	            c != SUSP_CHAR(tty))) {
			start_tty(tty);
			process_echoes(tty);
		}
...but it will change STOP_CHAR vs START_CHAR precedence for the case 
where they're the same characters. I don't know if it matters.
