Basically, yes - it's just like suspc, except that suspc takes effect
when it's typed, whereas dsuspc takes effect when some process tries to
read it.

Interesting.  Sun must have fixed it - I just now tried SunOS 4.1.4 and
it didn't do diddly.  ("sleep 5; cat" and type the dsuspc...nothing
happens when the sleep expires.)

And "Solaris" doesn't have it working, though perhaps some of the more
modern Solarices do.  (And no, I'm not quibbling about SunOS being
retconned to Solaris 1.x.)  I just now tried it on a machine running,
according to uname -a, SunOS 5.5.1 (ie, Solaris 2.5.1), and it failed
same as on SunOS 4.1.4.
