>Description:
Our /bin/sh doesn't have "suspend" builtin/alias, like the one found in
ksh or bash.  Dunno, how bash implements it, but ksh e.g. simply 
predefines:

  $ alias suspend
  suspend='kill -STOP $$'

It would be nice to have it.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to suspend a spawned shell, e.g. /bin/sh started from some other
shell to test something, or a super-user shell started by su.

>Fix:
