I've seen this as well.


In my case, doing "fg %1", then Ctl-Z and "bg" worked around the
issue.  I think it'll occur twice.  I suspect it's doing an ioctl
on the tty, and that will trigger this.

Alternatively (I've not tested), run the build job with /dev/null
as stdin, instead of letting that be a tty.


Those are both crude workarounds, and I still consider the build
broken for causing this.
