One thing that might be the cause is the setting of the tostop option in the
terminal init at login time.  From the stty man page, we have:

       [-]tostop  Stop background jobs that attempt to write to the terminal.
		  With a `-', allow background jobs to write to the terminal.

Normally the user sets this in his/her .cshrc.

Hope this helps.....kean
